Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light weaknesses in security policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of IT and security experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and calls for intimate interaction with the groups assigned to data restoration and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to secure backups.
• Capture forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the variety of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey every computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the originally compromised system
• Understand the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Provide detailed incident documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
