Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps you to evaluate the impact and highlights weaknesses in policies or work habits that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent has a large roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires close cooperation with the groups assigned to data restoration and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid images of all suspect devices so the data restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Establish the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine each computer and data store on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and sessions to determine the timeline of the assault and to spot any possible sideways movement from the first compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide detailed incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
