Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as operational resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has a large team of IT and data security professionals with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Copy forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so the data recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine every machine and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to spot any potential sideways migration from the first compromised system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Provide extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
