New solution helps organizations restore operations quickly after a cyberattack and demonstrate recovery readiness to auditors and regulators
MIAMI, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cygna Labs, a highly specialized software developer serving enterprises and service providers worldwide and a leading provider of DDI, cloud security, and compliance technology solutions, announced today the release of Cygna Forest Recovery for Active Directory.
Cygna Forest Recovery for Active Directory is an on-premises backup and recovery solution that enables organizations to restore individual domain controllers, domains, or entire Active Directory forests after a cyberattack or major outage, keeping the identity infrastructure the business depends on available when it matters most.
Active Directory controls access to the applications and services employees use every day. When it fails, work stops, customers cannot be served, and revenue is at risk. Manual forest recovery is slow and error-prone, and ransomware attackers often target backups to prevent recovery altogether.
Cygna Forest Recovery shortens downtime by automating most recovery steps based on Microsoft's Active Directory Forest Recovery Guide. Backups are kept in an isolated vault that compromised domain credentials cannot reach, and regular automated test restores confirm they work before they are needed. Recovery runs even when Active Directory and DNS are offline, with no cloud dependency.
"Active Directory is the front door to the entire business, and when it goes down, everything stops," said Christian Ehrenthal, CEO of Cygna Labs Corp. "Cygna Forest Recovery gives customers proof that they can recover safely after an attack, protecting productivity, revenue, and customer trust."
Cygna Forest Recovery also helps organizations meet operational resilience and cybersecurity requirements for tested backup and recovery, such as those in DORA, NIS2, and HIPAA. Verified test restores, a recovery readiness dashboard, a complete audit trail, and an automatically generated recovery report provide documented evidence of recovery readiness and of every action taken during an incident, simplifying audits and regulatory reporting.
"During a forest recovery, every decision matters and every action needs to be accountable," stated David Ruginski, VP of Development, Cygna Labs. "Cygna Forest Recovery validates the plan before it runs, requires approval for irreversible steps, and records everything that happens. IT teams get a reliable process under pressure, and auditors get a complete record afterward."
Cygna Forest Recovery for Active Directory is a standalone product. It complements Cygna Auditor, Entitlement and Security, and Risk Radar, giving customers a broader approach to protecting, monitoring, and recovering Active Directory.
Cygna Forest Recovery for Active Directory is available on November 10, 2026.
