Florida-based safety equipment giant Cadre Holdings on Friday disclosed a cyberattack that has impacted some of the company’s operations.
Cadre provides safety and survivability products for first responders, federal agencies, outdoor recreation, and personal protection in over 100 countries. Its products include body armor, bomb squad equipment, duty gear, and nuclear safety solutions.
The company revealed in an SEC filing on Friday that it detected unauthorized access to some of its technology systems on July 15.
In response to the incident, some systems were shut down, which impacted some of the company’s operations.
“Following detection of the incident with its security tools, the Company immediately initiated its standard response protocols to contain, assess and remediate the incident, including beginning an investigation with outside experts, activating its incident response plan, notifying federal law enforcement, and taking certain systems offline in an abundance of caution,” Cadre said in the regulatory filing.
The company’s investigation into the intrusion is in its early stages and the full scope and impact have yet to be determined. It’s unclear if the incident will have a material impact.
Based on the company’s brief description of the incident, this may have been a ransomware attack, but no known ransomware group appears to have taken credit for the intrusion at the time of writing.
SecurityWeek has reached out to Cadre for additional information and will update this article if the company responds.
