BlueScope Steel enhances cyber security after mid-May attack

 As it shifts focus on its year-old 'Avenir' digital transformation.

BlueScope Steel says it is making “good progress” on cyber security “enhancements” following a ransomware attack in mid-May.

Chief financial officer Tania Archibald told BlueScope’s FY20 results briefing that the attack, which was first reported by iTnews, had been mitigated without “material” impact on its operations and sales.

“Many of you will be aware that in May we experienced a cyber incident which saw unauthorised parties access our network,” Archibald said.

“As a result of our ability to quickly detect and respond to the incident, we experienced no material impact on our operations and sales.
