Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without disrupting the processes related to business continuity and data restoration.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights gaps in rules or processes that need to be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for close interaction with the teams focused on file cleanup and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware hacker. forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the strain of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey every computer and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to determine the timeline of the assault and to identify any potential lateral movement from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs from email messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide detailed incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to close security gaps and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
