Ransomware forensics involves discovering and describing the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps you to assess the impact and brings to light gaps in rules or processes that need to be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as operational resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the skills required to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and requires close interaction with the groups focused on file recovery and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect changes.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your file restoration team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
