GE Vernova has notified users that the end-of-support date for Proficy Plant Applications Version 8.0 was June 2024, and Version 8.2 end-of-support is June 2025. If you’re using an older version of the software, you need to upgrade now.
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, keeping your software up to date is more crucial than ever. Failing to do so can open the door to severe risks, including cybersecurity threats, operational disruptions, and compliance issues. A recent incident involving a well-known company, Clorox, illustrates just how damaging these risks can be.
The Clorox Cyberattack: A Wake-Up Call
In 2023, Clorox fell victim to a significant cyberattack that exposed systemic cybersecurity flaws within its manufacturing plants. The attack caused major disruptions, forcing the company to halt production and leading to significant financial losses. This unfortunate event not only impacted their operations but also compromised sensitive data, ultimately damaging the company's reputation.
Clorox is a stark reminder of what can happen when vulnerabilities are not addressed. Their outdated systems became an easy target for attackers, resulting in weeks of downtime and extensive recovery costs.

Is Your Business Safe?
If you're using an older version of GE Vernova's Proficy Plant Applications, your system might be facing similar vulnerabilities. GE has already declared the end-of-support date for Proficy Plant Applications Version 8.0 as June 2024, and Version 8.2 will reach its end-of-life in June 2025. This means these versions will no longer receive critical security updates or support, leaving your business exposed to cyberattacks, operational failures, and compliance risks.
