Camst

Camst is an Italian organisation that provides catering and facility management services. It operates primarily within Italy, delivering food services and managing facilities for a range of clients. The company’s core activities include preparing meals for self‑service restaurants and overseeing the upkeep and operation of client premises. Camst positions itself as a specialist in integrating food provision with broader facility support, aiming to offer a seamless service experience. Its market focus includes corporate, educational, and healthcare sectors where outsourced catering and facility management are required. The organisation emphasizes reliability and quality in its service delivery.

In November 2022, Camst experienced a ransomware attack that compromised parts of its corporate data systems. The intrusion led to temporary inaccessibility of internal networks, which disrupted order processing and slowed meal preparation in its self‑service outlets. As a result, food delivery and service faced delays during the incident. Upon detection, Camst activated its security protocols, including shutting down all servers as a precautionary measure, and launched a thorough investigation to eradicate the threat. The company communicated that it was working toward full system restoration while maintaining its catering and facility operations. Despite the cyber incident, Camst reported that it kept its catering and facility services running throughout the response period. This event highlighted the organisation’s reliance on digital infrastructure for order management and its capacity to sustain core services under disruption.
