New York’s money, media and law firms are the targets attackers rehearse for. We test, monitor and defend them around the clock, and help regulated firms meet NYDFS Part 500.
Few cities concentrate as much valuable data in as few square miles as New York. Banks and hedge funds in Midtown and the Financial District, insurers and brokers, law firms handling deals before they’re public, and the media and advertising companies of Hudson Square all hold information criminals can sell or use to move markets. Attackers don’t need to break into a trading floor; a convincing email to the right assistant, or a help desk call that resets the right password, is usually enough.
New York also regulates security more closely than almost anywhere in the country. If your firm is licensed by the Department of Financial Services, Part 500 sets specific controls, a 72-hour notice clock and an annual compliance filing. Everyone else answers to the SHIELD Act. StrikeProof helps New York businesses meet both with penetration testing that finds the real gaps, 24/7 monitoring that catches intrusions while they’re small, and the documentation examiners and clients expect to see.
NYDFS Part 500 controls and certification, penetration testing examiners expect, and 24/7 monitoring of privileged accounts.
Protection for privileged and deal-sensitive files, defense against wire fraud, and answers to the security questionnaires corporate clients send.
Account takeover defense for shared cloud and social accounts, SOC 2 readiness and testing of client-facing applications.
Email security against closing and rent fraud, protection for tenant and payment data, and a rehearsed response plan.
Attackers go where the money and the data are. In the New York City area, these are the threats we see shaped by the local economy.
Attackers watch a compromised mailbox for weeks, then step into a closing, a capital call or a vendor payment with new wiring instructions. Real estate, legal and financial firms move enough money to make the wait worthwhile.
Social engineering crews call IT pretending to be an employee locked out of their account, talk their way into an MFA reset, then move quickly through single sign-on into email, files and cloud consoles.
Financial and professional firms share data with fund administrators, file-transfer tools, payroll providers and outside counsel. A breach at any of them can become your notification problem.
Under the SHIELD Act, every business holding New York residents’ private information must keep reasonable safeguards and, since a 2024 amendment, notify affected residents within 30 days of discovering a breach, with notice also going to the Attorney General and other state agencies. Firms licensed by the Department of Financial Services face more: Part 500 requires notifying DFS within 72 hours of determining that a reportable cybersecurity event occurred, multi-factor authentication for remote and privileged access, regular testing, and an annual certification or acknowledgment of compliance. Fast detection is what makes a 72-hour clock possible.
