Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps you to evaluate the impact and brings to light gaps in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities such as business resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large roster of IT and security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.
Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the teams focused on file restoration and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for changes.
Services associated with forensics include:
- Isolate without shutting down all potentially affected devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to protect your backups.
- Copy forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can proceed
- Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as soon as possible
- Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the assault
- Examine each machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of compromise
