Infy added that in addition to launching an independent investigation to determine any possible effects on systems and data, it is collaborating with a top cybersecurity solutions vendor to find a quick solution to the problem.

On November 3, Infosys Ltd, a provider of IT services, notified the exchanges that Infosys McCamish Systems (IMS), a subsidiary, had become "aware of a cybersecurity event resulting in non-availability of certain applications and systems".

The business said that in addition to working with a top supplier of cybersecurity goods to find a quick solution, it has also started an independent inquiry to determine the possible effect on data and systems.

Infosys said in a regulatory filing that "data protection and cybersecurity are of utmost importance to us."

On the BSE, Infosys shares ended the day 1.36 percent higher at Rs 1,389.10 a share.

Unlike many of its international competitors, the Bengaluru-based IT services firm has ordered certain staff to report to work 10 days a month.

The corporation requested that a few workers in entry- to mid-level positions come in ten days a month beginning on November 20 in an email. The company approved full-time remote work after the coronavirus epidemic, which other workers are still able to do.
