Ransomware forensics involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light shortcomings in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important activities like business resumption are executed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and requires close cooperation with the groups responsible for data restoration and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Create forensically valid images of all exposed devices so the data recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions to determine the time frame of the assault and to identify any possible lateral movement from the originally infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to shore up security gaps and improve workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
