Lacroix Group

Profile narrative

Lacroix Group, also known simply as Lacroix, has its headquarters in France. The organisation runs electronics activity sites in several countries, notably France, Germany, and Tunisia. These sites form part of its electronics business segment. The presence of sites in both European and North African locations indicates a geographic spread across those regions. The electronics activity sites are integral to the group's overall operations. The Lacroix Group comprises multiple operational sites that support its electronics activities.

In May 2023, Lacroix intercepted a targeted cyber attack aimed at its electronics activity sites in France, Germany, and Tunisia. The attack encrypted some of the local infrastructures at these sites, leading the organisation to analyse whether any data had been exfiltrated. As a precautionary measure, the three affected sites were temporarily closed for one week to enable system restarts from backups and to conduct security investigations. These sites accounted for a significant share of the Lacroix Group's total sales, highlighting their importance to the organisation. The incident demonstrated the vulnerability of the group's electronics operations to cyber threats. Lacroix responded by containing the attack, restoring systems from backups, and undertaking a security review to prevent recurrence.
