Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network assists your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights shortcomings in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics is typically given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes like operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills required to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for close interaction with the teams responsible for data restoration and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially affected devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure backups.
• Create forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommended improvements to shore up security gaps and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
