Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps you to assess the damage and highlights shortcomings in policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the insurance carrier 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 resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and data security professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for intimate interaction with the teams responsible for data restoration and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics can require the review of logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so your file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every computer and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Review log activity and user sessions in order to establish the time frame of the assault and to spot any potential sideways movement from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide detailed incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
