Cybersecurity in Buffalo

Security built for how Buffalo does business

Buffalo’s economy runs across a border. Customs brokers, freight forwarders and manufacturers move goods over the Peace Bridge and the Lewiston-Queenston crossing daily, and plants from Tonawanda to Lackawanna build parts for customers on both sides. The region is also home to major regional banks and credit unions, a growing life sciences cluster on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, and large health systems.

Cross-border trade means lots of paperwork, payments and partners, which is exactly what fraudsters exploit. Manufacturers face ransomware aimed at production, and banks face New York’s demanding financial cybersecurity regulation. StrikeProof helps Buffalo organizations test their networks, monitor them 24/7 and respond quickly when something goes wrong, whether the office is downtown or the team is working from home through a lake-effect storm.

The local threat landscape

What Buffalo businesses are up against

Attackers go where the money and the data are. In Western New York, these are the threats we see shaped by the local economy.

Customs and freight payment fraud

Spoofed broker, carrier and supplier emails redirect duty payments, freight charges and invoices between U.S. and Canadian partners.

Ransomware on manufacturers

Older plant systems and flat networks let attackers spread from one phished laptop to the systems that run production.

Remote access attacks

Weather-driven remote work means VPNs and remote desktop tools that must always be available, and attackers probe them for weak passwords and missing patches.

Breach and privacy law in New York

Two New York rules: NYDFS for regulated firms, SHIELD for everyone

Banks, insurers and other businesses licensed by the New York Department of Financial Services must meet its cybersecurity regulation, Part 500: a risk-based program, multi-factor authentication, annual certification and notice to DFS within 72 hours of certain cybersecurity events. Every business holding New Yorkers’ private information falls under the SHIELD Act, which requires reasonable safeguards scaled to the business’s size and notice to affected residents within 30 days of discovering a breach. If you also hold Canadians’ data, Canadian privacy rules can apply to them.

Buffalo FAQ

Cybersecurity in Buffalo: common questions

We’re a DFS-regulated credit union or lender. What do you help with under Part 500?

The technical heart of it: risk assessments, penetration testing and vulnerability management, multi-factor authentication, 24/7 monitoring and an incident response plan that can support the 72-hour notice. Your compliance officer owns the certification; we provide the evidence behind it.

We’re a small Buffalo manufacturer. What does the SHIELD Act expect from us?

Reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to your size and the data you hold. Your attorney can confirm what that means for you; in practice, multi-factor sign-in, endpoint monitoring, patching and tested backups go a long way.

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

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