Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists you to assess the damage and brings to light weaknesses in rules or processes that should be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities such as operational resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of IT and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.
Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups responsible for file restoration and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for changes.
Activities associated with forensics include:
- Detach but avoid shutting off all possibly affected devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to protect your backups.
- Preserve forensically sound images of all exposed devices so the data recovery team can proceed
- Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
- Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
- Inspect every computer and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
- Catalog all compromised devices
- Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
- Study logs and user sessions to establish the time frame of the assault and to identify any possible sideways movement from the first infected system
- Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
- Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
- Parse Outlook web archives
- Examine attachments
- Extract any URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malicious

- List recommended improvements to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
