Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and brings to light weaknesses in policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important activities such as operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires close cooperation with the teams assigned to data cleanup and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially affected devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Copy forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so the file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the variety of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine every machine and data store on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any potential sideways migration from the first infected system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce detailed incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
