Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists you to assess the impact and uncovers weaknesses in rules or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other key activities like business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the groups focused on data recovery and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware adversary. forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the network. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to secure backups.
• Copy forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so your data recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the variety of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the assault and to identify any potential lateral migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malware
• Produce detailed incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
