Ransomware forensics involves tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key recovery processes such as business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and security experts with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the groups responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics can require the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate without shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to protect backups.
• Copy forensically complete images of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to identify any possible sideways migration from the first infected system
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to close cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
