Automatic Systems

Automatic Systems operates as a specialist provider of access control solutions. The company designs, manufactures, and integrates systems that manage entry and exit points for facilities. Its product portfolio includes turnstiles, security doors, and related identification technologies. These solutions are deployed across corporate campuses, transportation hubs, and government installations. The firm has established relationships with high‑profile clients such as Alibaba and Thales, as evidenced by non‑disclosure agreements referenced in a 2023 data breach. Additionally, documents linked to NATO were among the data exfiltrated in that incident, indicating work with defence‑sector contracts.

Automatic Systems is headquartered in Belgium and operates as a subsidiary of the French Bolloré group. Being part of Bolloré provides it with access to the group's industrial and logistics expertise. The company's distinguishing attribute lies in its focus on high‑security access control for organisations that require stringent protection of personnel and assets. Its client base includes multinational corporations and governmental bodies that demand compliance with rigorous safety standards. In June 2023, the firm suffered a ransomware attack claimed by the ALPHV/BlackCat gang, which compromised servers and led to the theft of sensitive information. Following the breach, Automatic Systems engaged external cybersecurity experts and notified law enforcement authorities.
