HR management company Ultimate Kronos Group has been hit by a ransomware attack that has prevented its clients access to processing payroll, handling time sheets and managing their workforce.
Also hit by the attack is Kronos Workforce Central, which contains a suite of workforce management solutions for time and attendance, absence management, scheduling and more. The Kronos Workforce Central tools were created specifically for industries to help manage their entire workforce on a cloud platform.
For now, Kronos recommends its clients look into alternatives for workforce management while it navigates this situation.
Thoughts
Please do not put mission critical operations in the cloud. Think long term, and not short term. The cloud is not designed for these type of systems regardless of what these organizations like Kronos will make you believe.
I personally love this quote: “For now, Kronos recommends its clients look into alternatives for workforce management while it navigates this situation.”
That is the best way to lose your customer base.
