### Overview
Our investigation has uncovered several persistence mechanisms utilized by the Daserf backdoor to ensure continued access within the infected network.

### Key Findings
- **Registry Modification**: The backdoor modifies critical registry keys to execute upon system startup.
- **Scheduled Tasks**: It creates scheduled tasks that trigger the execution of malicious scripts at regular intervals.

### Recommendations
- **Registry Monitoring**: Implement continuous monitoring of registry modifications to detect unauthorized changes.
- **Audit Scheduled Tasks**: Regularly audit scheduled tasks to ensure they have not been tampered with by malicious actors.

### Next Steps
Attention should be directed towards identifying and mitigating lateral movement, as the threat actor may attempt to expand their foothold within the network.
