Ransomware forensics involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps you to assess the damage and brings to light weaknesses in rules or work habits that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other important activities such as business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and requires close cooperation with the teams focused on data cleanup and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to protect backups.
• Capture forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so your data recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each computer and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible sideways migration from the originally infected machine
• Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive attack documentation to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
