Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to evaluate the impact and uncovers shortcomings in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities such as operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and security experts with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the groups focused on data cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for changes.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the strain of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every computer and data store on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and 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 exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommendations to shore up security gaps and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
