Schneider Electric

Schneider Electric, also known as Schneider, is headquartered in France. The company operates a Sustainability Business division that provides the Resource Advisor cloud platform. It also manufactures solar energy monitoring products such as the Conext ComBox and Conext Battery Monitor. According to incident reports, the company handles data related to energy usage, industrial systems, and regulatory compliance for its customers. These activities indicate a focus on energy management and sustainability solutions.

Schneider Electric has been involved in several publicly reported cybersecurity incidents that highlight aspects of its operational environment. In January 2024, a ransomware attack by the Cactus group targeted its Sustainability Business division, disrupting the Resource Advisor cloud platform and leading to data theft. In May 2023, the company was affected by a mass‑exploitation of a zero‑day vulnerability in the MOVEit file‑transfer application, attributed to the Clop ransomware group. Earlier, in August 2018, malware was discovered on USB drives shipped with its Conext ComBox and Conext Battery Monitor solar energy monitoring products, stemming from a third‑party supplier. These events show that the firm’s products and services intersect with file‑transfer systems, cloud platforms, and supply chains for renewable energy equipment.
