Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting the processes required for business resumption and data recovery.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and highlights weaknesses in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes like operational resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.
Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for data restoration and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.
Activities associated with forensics analysis include:
- Detach without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to secure backups.
- Preserve forensically complete duplicates of all exposed devices so your file restoration team can get started
- Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as quickly as possible
- Identify the version of ransomware used in the assault
- Examine each machine and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of encryption
- Inventory all compromised devices
- Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
- Review log activity and user sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any potential lateral migration from the first infected machine
- Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
- Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
- Parse Outlook web archives
- Analyze email attachments
- Extract URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
- Provide detailed incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
- List recommended improvements to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
