Ransomware forensics involves tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists you to assess the impact and uncovers gaps in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes like operational resumption are executed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills required to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires close interaction with the teams focused on data recovery and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to secure your backups.
• Create forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential lateral movement from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
