Ransomware forensics involves tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and highlights weaknesses in policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities such as business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of IT and data security professionals with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and calls for close cooperation with the teams responsible for data restoration and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid images of all suspect devices so your file recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect each computer and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential sideways movement from the originally compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Provide extensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
