Ransomware on the plant floor
Attackers move from a phished office account to the systems that schedule, run and ship production. A flat network between IT and the shop floor turns one infected laptop into a stopped line.
Metro Detroit builds the vehicles, and attackers know a stopped line costs more than a ransom. We test, monitor and defend the plants, engineering shops and lenders of Southeast Michigan, and answer our incident line 24/7.
Detroit’s economy runs through a long automotive supply chain. Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers in Troy, Auburn Hills, Livonia and Warren hold engineering data the OEMs guard closely, run plant networks that were never designed to face the internet, and work to production schedules measured in minutes. Add the mortgage lenders that have grown up downtown and in Pontiac, the hospital systems and the defense work around the Army’s Detroit Arsenal in Warren, and you have a region where downtime and stolen data both carry a real price.
Customers here have stopped taking security on trust. European automakers ask for a TISAX label, defense primes flow down CMMC requirements, and every OEM supplier portal comes with a questionnaire. StrikeProof helps Metro Detroit companies meet those demands with penetration testing of office and plant networks, 24/7 monitoring that spots ransomware before it reaches production, and readiness work that turns good practice into the evidence customers and assessors ask for.
TISAX and OEM questionnaire readiness, segmentation between office and plant networks, and monitoring for systems that can’t be patched.
FTC Safeguards Rule controls, multi-factor sign-in everywhere and defenses against the wire fraud that targets closings.
NIST SP 800-171 controls and CMMC readiness for work tied to the Detroit Arsenal and the wider defense supply chain.
HIPAA risk assessments, ransomware defenses and an incident plan that keeps patient care running.
Attackers go where the money and the data are. In Metro Detroit, these are the threats we see shaped by the local economy.
Attackers move from a phished office account to the systems that schedule, run and ship production. A flat network between IT and the shop floor turns one infected laptop into a stopped line.
CAD models, tooling designs and program timelines for upcoming vehicles are valuable to competitors and foreign intelligence services alike, and suppliers are often the easiest place to find them.
Lenders, title companies and suppliers that move large payments are targeted with spoofed emails and fake bank-detail changes timed to closings and invoice runs.
Michigan’s Identity Theft Protection Act requires notice to affected residents without unreasonable delay, and notice to the nationwide consumer reporting agencies when more than 1,000 residents are notified. A vendor that holds data for another business must tell that business about a breach, and failures to notify can bring civil fines. For many Detroit companies the tighter deadlines come from contracts: OEM supplier agreements set their own reporting windows, and DFARS clauses require defense contractors to report cyber incidents to the Department of Defense within 72 hours. Knowing quickly what was touched is what lets you meet all of them.
