Cybersecurity in Atlanta

Security built for how Atlanta does business

Atlanta’s nickname “Transaction Alley” comes from the payment processors, fintechs and software companies clustered from Midtown up GA-400 to Alpharetta. Add the freight moving through Hartsfield-Jackson and the region’s distribution centers, a large concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, healthcare systems and health IT companies, and a growing film industry, and you get a metro where a lot of sensitive data is in motion at any moment.

That puts Atlanta businesses in the path of card-skimming and credential theft as well as ransomware. Many also sit inside someone else’s compliance program: a processor’s partner, a bank’s vendor, a hospital’s software supplier. StrikeProof helps them meet those expectations with penetration testing that satisfies PCI DSS and customer requirements, 24/7 monitoring, and incident response ready to start the moment you call.

The local threat landscape

What Atlanta businesses are up against

Attackers go where the money and the data are. In Metro Atlanta, these are the threats we see shaped by the local economy.

Payment data theft

Attackers inject skimming code into checkout pages and payment apps, or steal API keys from developers, to harvest card data quietly over weeks or months.

Ransomware on logistics and distribution

Warehouses and freight operators near the airport and along the interstates run on tight schedules. Encrypting their systems halts shipments for customers across the Southeast.

Health data and IT supplier breaches

Health IT and billing companies hold data for many providers at once, so a single breach can expose patients across several healthcare systems.

Breach and privacy law in Georgia

Georgia’s breach law is narrow, but federal rules fill the gap

Georgia’s breach notification statute applies mainly to information brokers and government agencies, which must notify affected residents in the most expedient time possible and alert the consumer reporting agencies when more than 10,000 Georgians are affected. Most Atlanta businesses face stricter rules elsewhere: the breach laws of the states their customers live in, PCI DSS for card data, HIPAA for health data, and the FTC’s Safeguards Rule, which requires non-bank financial companies to keep a written security program and report breaches involving 500 or more consumers to the FTC within 30 days. Your attorney can map which ones apply to you.

Atlanta FAQ

Cybersecurity in Atlanta: common questions

Our processor says we need a penetration test for PCI DSS. What does that involve?

PCI DSS requires internal and external penetration testing at least annually and after significant changes, plus segmentation testing if you rely on it to reduce scope. We test the systems in and around your cardholder data environment, report findings in a form your assessor will recognize, and retest after fixes.

Does the FTC Safeguards Rule apply to us?

It applies to many businesses that don’t think of themselves as financial institutions, such as mortgage brokers, tax preparers, auto dealers that arrange financing and some fintechs. Your attorney should confirm whether you’re covered; we can build and document the security program, monitoring and testing the rule requires.

We think we’ve been breached. How fast can you help a Atlanta business?

Call our 24/7 incident response line at +1 (253) 448-3030. We’re remote-first, so we begin containment and forensics over secure remote access within minutes of your call, with no waiting for someone to drive to your office.

Do you offer penetration testing for Atlanta companies?

Yes. We test external and internal networks, web applications, cloud environments and your people (phishing), and deliver a prioritized report your team can act on, followed by a retest once fixes are in.

Does it matter that StrikeProof isn’t based in Atlanta?

Not for the work we do. Monitoring, testing, compliance and incident response are all delivered over secure remote connections, so a business in Metro Atlanta gets the same team, the same speed and the same price as one next door to our Tacoma headquarters.
