Ransomware forensics involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to evaluate the impact and uncovers gaps in policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities like operational resumption are executed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and requires intimate interaction with the teams responsible for data restoration and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Copy forensically valid digital images of all exposed devices so the file restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Review log activity and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible lateral migration from the originally infected system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Provide extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
