Ransomware forensics involves tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in rules or processes that should be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important activities such as operational resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to file restoration and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Create forensically sound images of all suspect devices so your data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each computer and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions in order to establish the time frame of the assault and to identify any potential lateral migration from the originally infected machine
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce extensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
