Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists you to evaluate the damage and uncovers vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities such as operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and requires intimate cooperation with the teams focused on data restoration and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Activities involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect backups.
• Copy forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your file restoration group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey every machine and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential lateral migration from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to shore up security gaps and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
