Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps your IT staff to assess the impact and highlights vulnerabilities in policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensics is typically assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities such as operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has a large team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires close interaction with the teams responsible for file restoration and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to guard your backups.
• Create forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential sideways migration from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
