Cyber security incident: update

BESIX is currently managing a cyber security incident after discovering unauthorised activity on its network. Since Saturday 9 October 2021, systems have been secured, some taken offline, and extensive investigations have started with law enforcement authorities and cyber security professionals.

Based on the information gathered to date, BESIX is confident that its security controls were effective in limiting the impact of the incident which has been confined to a limited part of its data store. The company has carefully but rapidly re-established its core systems to enable its staff members to continue to work and communicate with its clients and suppliers. Projects and construction sites are currently running without major disruption. Most of its affiliate companies are not affected by this incident.
