Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and describing the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers gaps in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.
Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires close cooperation with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect changes.
Activities associated with forensics include:
- Isolate without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to guard your backups.
- Preserve forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so the data restoration group can get started
- Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as possible
- Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
- Inspect every computer and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
- Catalog all encrypted devices
- Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
- Review logs and sessions in order to determine the time frame of the assault and to spot any possible sideways movement from the originally infected machine
- Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
- Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
- Parse Outlook web archives
- Examine email attachments
- Separate any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
- Provide detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
- Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
