1 Min Read
PSI Software, a Germany-based critical infrastructure software and logistics platforms vendor, is running at diminished capacity following a ransomware attack the company initially detected Thursday.
The attack impacted PSI’s internal IT infrastructure and the company responded by shutting down all external connections and systems, PSI said in an update Monday. The remainder of the company’s website is offline.
“We are currently analyzing the exact vector of the attack,” PSI said in a statement. “There are at present no indications that PSI systems at customer sites have been compromised. According to current knowledge, there was no access to remote connections for the maintenance of customer systems.”
Dive Insight:
The attack against PSI comes during a period of heightened malicious activity against critical infrastructure and worry about threat actors gaining footholds in their IT environments.
PSI Software provides control systems for energy control, operational management, network utilization, pipeline management and leak detection. PSI operates a subsidiary in the U.S. and purchases products from large U.S.-based enterprise vendors including IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAP.
