NORWAY
Norsk Hydro, a global aluminium and renewable energy
company based in Norway, was hit by an extensive
cyberattack. IT-systems in most business areas were
impacted and the company was forced to switch to manual
operations and procedures as far as possible.
In a statement, the company said its technical team, with
external support, had succeeded in detecting the root
cause of the problems and were working to validate the
plan and process to restart the company’s IT systems in a
safe and sound manner.
The main priority was to ensure safe operations and
limit operational and financial impact.
EUROPE
To prepare for major cross-border
cyberattacks, an EU Law Enforcement
Emergency Response Protocol has been
adopted by the Council of the European
Union. The protocol gives a central role
to Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre
(EC3) and is part of the EU Blueprint
for Coordinated Response to Large-Scale
Cross-Border Cybersecurity Incidents and Crises.
It serves as a tool to support the EU law enforcement authorities
in providing immediate response to major cross-border
cyberattacks through rapid assessment, the secure and timely
sharing of critical information and effective coordination of the
international aspects of their investigations.
