Uploaded on 2025-02-11 in FREE TO VIEW

Tata Technologies has recently reported that it has been the victim of a ransomware attack that has hit some of its IT systems. It is one of India’s key tech developers and state project contractors, employs over 11,000 people, has an annual revenue of $600 million, and operates 18 locations in India, North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

The incident was detailed in a company statement dated January 31, 2025, where the company first informed stakeholders about the breach.

Tata Technologies has its headquarters in Pune, India, and it is a subsidiary of the Tata Group. And it is known for its expertise in product development and digital solutions with a strong focus on the automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery industries.

According to the official communication, the ransomware attack has temporary suspended some IT services. However, Tata Technologies emphasised that their client delivery services remained fully operational and unaffected during the incident. The company has since restored the suspended services, ensuring continuity in operations.

This cyber security incident comes when India has seen a significant rise in ransomware attacks, with a 55% increase noted in 2024, mainly targeting the industrial sector.

Tata Technologies, known for providing outsourced engineering and digital transformation services to global manufacturing clients, has reassured stakeholders that they are actively managing the attack’s aftermath. The incident underscores the growing cyber security challenge for corporations, especially those in sectors like engineering and technology, where data integrity and service continuity are paramount.

As investigations continue, the focus will be on understanding the full scope of the breach and ensuring robust defences against future cyber threats and so far no ransomware group has claimed credit for the attack.
