## Report: Establishing Persistence

### Overview
The malware successfully established a foothold in the system by installing a backdoor, ensuring continued access to the compromised network.

### Technical Details
- **Persistence Mechanism**: The backdoor was installed as a service, configured to start automatically with the system boot.
- **Registry Modifications**: Key registry entries were altered to maintain persistence across reboots.

### Next Steps
The operation will now focus on lateral movement to reach the Safety Instrumented System (SIS) controllers. Network traffic and access logs should be closely monitored for unusual patterns indicative of this propagation.
