Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and brings to light weaknesses in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires intimate interaction with the teams focused on data restoration and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware attacker. forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for changes.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to guard backups.
• Copy forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so your file restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions to establish the time frame of the assault and to identify any possible sideways migration from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
