Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is critical that other key recovery processes like business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of information technology and security professionals with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires close interaction with the teams assigned to data recovery and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to guard your backups.
• Copy forensically complete digital images of all exposed devices so the file recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as possible
• Identify the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
