Featured Case Study: Akira Ransomware

30 Minutes to Identify the Root Cause of a Ransomware Attack.

When a UK manufacturing organisation suffered an Akira ransomware attack, a DFIR consultancy used Strand to reconstruct the intrusion and rapidly identify how the attackers gained access.

What Strand uncovered:

  • Initial access through a compromised SonicWall VPN account.
  • Persistence mechanisms involving Cloudflared tunnels and AnyDesk.
  • An evidence-backed reconstruction of the attack path.

30 Minutes

To identify root cause and persistence mechanisms.

4 Hours

Total reported attack duration, from initial access to encryption.

Faster Answers. Better-Informed Response Decisions.

By establishing how the attackers entered the environment and maintained access, Strand helped responders move forward with evidence-backed findings.

Results from an individual, anonymised investigation. Investigation times depend on incident complexity, scope and available evidence.

The Problem

Your Investigators Should Focus on Solving Incidents. Not Repetitive Forensic Work.

During a cyber incident, clients need answers quickly.

They need to know how the attacker gained access, what systems were affected, whether persistence remains and what data may have been compromised.

But traditional forensic workflows can delay those answers.

Manual Evidence Collection

Collecting and preparing forensic artifacts across endpoints, servers and cloud environments consumes valuable investigator time.

Fragmented Investigations

Reconstructing an attack from disconnected tools, logs and evidence sources makes it harder to establish the complete sequence of events.

Time-Consuming Reporting

After the investigation, teams still need to translate technical findings into defensible reports for clients, insurers, legal teams and executives.

There's a Faster Way to Investigate.

Strand automates repetitive evidence collection, forensic analysis and report generation - allowing investigators to focus on validating findings, advising clients and supporting recovery.

One Platform. One Investigation Workflow.

From Raw Forensic Evidence to Defensible Answers.

Strand brings evidence collection, automated investigation, analyst verification and reporting together in a single workflow.

  1. 01
    Collect

    Start With the Evidence.

    Deploy Strand's forensic collectors during an active incident or ingest supported existing collections from affected systems.

    Bring together evidence from endpoints, servers and cloud environments, including supported KAPE and Velociraptor collections, EDR telemetry and other security data.

  2. 02
    Investigate

    Reconstruct What Actually Happened.

    Strand's agentic investigation engine correlates forensic evidence to reconstruct the incident timeline.

    Investigate initial access, lateral movement, persistence, potential data exfiltration and the scope of compromise.

    Move beyond isolated alerts to understand the attack path.

  3. 03
    Verify

    Every Finding Backed by Evidence.

    Inspect the underlying forensic artifacts, logs, timelines and confidence levels supporting investigation findings.

    Your analysts retain professional judgement and responsibility for final investigative conclusions.

  4. 04
    Report

    Turn Findings Into Client-Ready Reports.

    Generate structured reports for technical responders, clients, legal teams, insurers and executives.

    Use reusable, white-labelled templates to deliver evidence-backed findings under your firm's own brand.

Collect. Investigate. Verify. Report.

Built for Real-World Incident Response

One Investigation Platform. Multiple Incident Types.

Whether you're responding to ransomware, business email compromise or advanced intrusion activity, Strand helps your team investigate faster and deliver evidence-backed findings.

Ransomware Investigations

Reconstruct the attack path from initial access to encryption. Investigate compromised accounts, lateral movement, persistence and potential data impact.

Business Email Compromise

Investigate Microsoft 365 mailbox activity, suspicious sign-ins, OAuth grants, inbox rules, accessed messages and outbound communications.

Establish how the account was compromised and assess the scope of the incident.

Network & Endpoint Intrusions

Correlate forensic artifacts across endpoints, servers and cloud environments to uncover malicious execution, persistence and attacker movement.

Incident & Alert Investigations

Go beyond the initial security alert to reconstruct surrounding activity, connect related evidence and identify the root cause.

Automated Forensic Reporting

Convert investigation findings, timelines and supporting evidence into structured reports for clients, insurers, legal teams and other stakeholders.
