Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and highlights gaps in security policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important activities like operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and security professionals with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.
Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the teams responsible for file restoration and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). Ransomware forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.
Activities involved with forensics analysis include:
- Detach without shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to protect backups.
- Copy forensically valid images of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can get started
- Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
- Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
- Examine each computer and storage device on the system including cloud storage for indications of encryption

- Study log activity and user sessions in order to establish the time frame of the attack and to identify any potential sideways movement from the originally compromised system
- Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
- Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
- Parse Outlook web archives
- Examine email attachments
