Cybersecurity in Milwaukee

Security built for how Milwaukee does business

Southeastern Wisconsin is one of the country’s great manufacturing regions: industrial automation, power and motion equipment, engines, food and beverage production, and the hundreds of machine shops and suppliers between Menomonee Valley and Waukesha County. Alongside them sit major insurance and financial services companies and large health systems, so a lot of the region’s risk is concentrated in plants and back offices that were never designed with attackers in mind.

Manufacturing has become a favorite target for ransomware because a stopped line costs so much per hour, and older plant equipment is hard to patch. StrikeProof helps Milwaukee businesses map and test the connections between office IT and the plant floor, monitor endpoints and identities around the clock, and respond fast when something gets in. For insurers and financial firms, we provide the testing and evidence Wisconsin’s insurance data security rules and customers expect.

The local threat landscape

What Milwaukee businesses are up against

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

Ransomware that stops production

Attackers enter through the office network and spread to systems that run lines, schedules and shipping. Every hour of downtime adds pressure to pay.

Exposed plant and remote-access systems

Vendor remote-access tools, flat networks and unpatched controllers give attackers a path from the internet to equipment that was never meant to be reachable.

Supplier impersonation

Fake invoices and changed bank details from look-alike supplier domains hit manufacturers and distributors that pay hundreds of vendors a month.

45 days

Breach and privacy law in Wisconsin

Wisconsin’s breach deadline, and stricter rules for insurers

Wisconsin requires businesses to notify affected residents within a reasonable time, no more than 45 days after learning of a breach of personal information, and to notify the national credit reporting agencies when more than 1,000 people are affected. Insurance licensees face more: Wisconsin’s insurance data security law requires a written information security program based on a risk assessment, and notice to the Commissioner of Insurance after a cybersecurity event. Many manufacturers also carry security requirements in their customer contracts that go further than state law.

Milwaukee FAQ

Cybersecurity in Milwaukee: common questions

Can you test our plant network without disrupting production?

Yes. We scope plant work carefully, use passive discovery and conservative techniques around controllers and production equipment, and schedule active testing with your operations team. The goal is to find the paths from office IT to the floor, not to stop a line.

We’re a Wisconsin insurance agency. What does the insurance data security law expect?

In general, a written information security program built on a risk assessment, oversight of vendors and prompt notice to the Commissioner after a cybersecurity event. Your attorney or compliance advisor should confirm what applies; we provide the risk assessment, testing, monitoring and incident response behind it.

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

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