Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights weaknesses in rules or processes that should be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other important activities such as operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for intimate interaction with the groups assigned to data cleanup and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the network. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to establish the time frame of the assault and to spot any potential sideways migration from the originally infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Provide extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
