# Report: Establishing Foothold - Persistence Mechanisms Analyzed

## Overview
Post-malicious payload deployment, analysis indicates that attackers are establishing persistence within the network.

## Details
- **Persistence Techniques:** Scheduled tasks and registry key modifications
- **Targets:** Critical servers and high-value endpoints
- **Detection:** Unusual network traffic patterns and system anomalies

## Implications
The use of persistence mechanisms indicates a calculated effort to maintain access and control over the compromised network components.

## Recommendations
- Conduct thorough network and system scans for known persistence signatures
- Implement enhanced monitoring for unusual system changes

## Next Steps
Focus on detecting lateral movement as attackers may attempt to spread the ransomware further within the network.
