Ransomware forensics 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 assault progressed within the network assists you to evaluate the impact and uncovers gaps in policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes like business continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for data restoration and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to protect your backups.
• Create forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so the file restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every computer and storage device on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible lateral migration from the first compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
