Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and highlights weaknesses in policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other important activities such as business continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and requires intimate interaction with the groups assigned to file recovery and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Capture forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your data restoration group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Identify the strain of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect every machine and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to identify any potential sideways migration from the originally compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to close security gaps and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
