Thyssenkrupp fends off cyberattack against its material services division

Thyssenkrupp has reported that its headquarters and material services division have been targeted by a cyberattack, yet no data appears to have been comprimised.
Duncan Greenwood, CEO of Xage Security, stated that:
“Cyberattacks on Thyssenkrupp AG are another example of increasing risks to industrial organizations and the global supply chain. In fact, cyber risks are now spreading from energy and utility sectors, and making their way into the manufacturing sector - such as steel manufacturing and heavy industries - in an effort to cause massive chaos.
The mindset needs to shift from not just detecting and responding to cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, but blocking them from inception. Prevention is possible, even once the threat has infiltrated the network or compromised some systems. Accelerating implementation of preventive cybersecurity capabilities should be a key priority for industrial organisations and critical infrastructure operators in 2023."
