Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps you to assess the impact and highlights shortcomings in policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key recovery processes like business resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups responsible for file recovery and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so the file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible sideways movement from the first infected machine
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
