Ransomware forensics involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to assess the impact and highlights shortcomings in security policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other important activities such as operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and security experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to file restoration and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to secure your backups.
• Capture forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the file restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the version of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine each machine and data store on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible sideways movement from the first infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• Document recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
