Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists you to assess the damage and uncovers weaknesses in rules or processes that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because 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 professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to file recovery and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware attacker. forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to protect backups.
• Create forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the data restoration team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Identify the variety of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each machine and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions to determine the time frame of the assault and to spot any possible lateral movement from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
