Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down activity required for business resumption and data restoration.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to assess the impact and highlights gaps in security policies or processes that should be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities such as operational resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to data restoration and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware hacker. forensics can require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly affected devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Copy forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so the data restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey each computer and data store on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the first compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Produce extensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
