Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and highlights shortcomings in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes like business continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.
Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and calls for intimate interaction with the teams focused on file cleanup and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.
Activities involved with forensics investigation include:
- Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to secure backups.
- Capture forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so your data recovery team can proceed
- Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
- Determine the variety of ransomware used in the assault
- Inspect every machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
- Inventory all compromised devices
- Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
- Study log activity and user sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways movement from the originally infected system
- Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack

- Parse Outlook web archives
- Examine attachments
