Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without slowing down the processes related to operational resumption and data restoration.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and uncovers gaps in rules or processes that need to be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other important activities like operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and requires intimate interaction with the groups assigned to data cleanup and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can require the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Create forensically complete images of all exposed devices so the data recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey each machine and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to determine the timeline of the assault and to identify any potential lateral movement from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide extensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommended improvements to close security gaps and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
