Ransomware forensics is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps you to evaluate the impact and uncovers weaknesses in rules or processes that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is typically given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities like operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and requires intimate cooperation with the groups focused on data restoration and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential lateral movement from the first compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
