Cybersecurity in Houston

Security built for how Houston does business

Houston’s economy runs on physical operations. Oil and gas companies along the Energy Corridor and in The Woodlands, refineries and chemical plants along the Ship Channel, terminals at Port Houston, and the hospitals and research centers of the Texas Medical Center all depend on control systems and clinical systems that were built to run reliably, not to fend off attackers. As those systems connect to corporate networks and remote vendors, the gap between an email compromise and a stopped process gets shorter.

Houston businesses also plan for disruption in a way few cities do, because hurricanes and floods make recovery a routine concern. StrikeProof brings that same mindset to cyber risk: penetration testing that maps how an attacker could cross from IT into operational technology, 24/7 monitoring of both, and incident response that works remotely, which matters when roads are closed.

Oil, gas and pipelines

OT-aware penetration testing, monitoring that covers control networks, and support meeting TSA pipeline security directives.

Petrochemical and manufacturing

Network segmentation between office and plant, secure vendor access and an incident plan that puts safety first.

Healthcare and research

HIPAA safeguards, ransomware defense and protection for research data at hospitals, labs and specialty practices.

Port, maritime and logistics

24/7 monitoring, defense against freight and payment fraud, and a recovery plan built around storms as well as attackers.

The local threat landscape

What Houston businesses are up against

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

Attacks crossing from IT into OT

Ransomware and nation-state groups get in through email or a vendor’s remote access, then move toward the control systems that run pipelines, plants and terminals.

Ransomware on hospitals and clinics

Healthcare providers can’t stop treating patients, and attackers know downtime puts heavy pressure on them to pay quickly.

Vendor and contractor remote access

Field service companies, equipment makers and engineering contractors often hold standing remote access to sites. One weak password at a vendor can open many doors.

30 days

Breach and privacy law in Texas

Texas puts the Attorney General on a 30-day clock

When a breach of sensitive personal information affects 250 or more Texans, the Attorney General must be notified within 30 days of the business determining it occurred, and affected individuals within 60 days. Healthcare providers have additional HIPAA notice duties, including to the federal government. Pipeline operators covered by TSA’s security directives face their own requirements to report significant cyber incidents to CISA quickly. A business that discovers a breach late loses most of that time before the clock is even visible, which is why monitoring matters as much as the response plan.

Houston FAQ

Cybersecurity in Houston: common questions

Can you penetration test our plant or pipeline control network safely?

Yes, with care. OT testing is planned with your operations team, focuses on passive discovery and the paths from the corporate network inward, and avoids active scanning of fragile controllers unless you approve it for a maintenance window. Safety and uptime come first.

If a hurricane takes out our office, can you still respond to an incident?

Yes. Our team works remotely from outside the storm’s path, so monitoring and incident response continue as long as your systems or cloud services are reachable. We can also help you build a recovery plan that assumes neither your office nor your staff is available.

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

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