Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists you to assess the damage and brings to light shortcomings in security policies or processes that should be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other key recovery processes such as business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.
Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups focused on file recovery and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect changes.
Activities involved with forensics investigation include:
- Disconnect but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the network. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to protect your backups.
- Capture forensically sound images of all suspect devices so the data recovery group can proceed
- Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
- Establish the variety of ransomware used in the attack
- Examine every machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
- Inventory all compromised devices
- Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
- Study logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the originally compromised machine
