Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps you to assess the damage and brings to light weaknesses in policies or work habits that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key recovery processes like business continuity are performed concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of IT and security professionals with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and requires close interaction with the groups focused on data recovery and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to secure backups.
• Copy forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so the data restoration group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each computer and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible sideways movement from the first infected system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
