Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights weaknesses in rules or processes that need to be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities such as operational continuity are performed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and requires intimate interaction with the groups focused on file recovery and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to guard backups.
• Capture forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so the data restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey every computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first compromised machine
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
