Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and highlights weaknesses in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is critical that other key activities such as business resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has a large roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for intimate interaction with the teams responsible for data restoration and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so the file restoration group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every machine and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to identify any possible lateral migration from the first infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
