Cybersecurity in Pittsburgh

Security built for how Pittsburgh does business

Pittsburgh’s modern economy grew out of its universities and hospitals. Large health systems employ tens of thousands across the region, autonomous vehicle, robotics and AI companies have spun out of research labs in Oakland and the Strip District, and the city remains a banking and asset management center downtown. Each of those sectors holds something attackers want: patient records, research and source code, and money.

The smaller firms around them carry the same risk with fewer people to manage it. A billing company processing claims for a health system, a robotics startup with a defense research contract or a wealth manager with client accounts can all be the easiest way in. StrikeProof helps Pittsburgh organizations find their weak points with penetration testing, watch their systems around the clock and meet the HIPAA, federal research and financial-sector rules that come with the work.

Health systems and their business associates

HIPAA risk analysis, third-party access reviews and monitoring that catches ransomware before it spreads.

Robotics, AI and autonomy companies

Cloud and application testing, protection for models and code, and NIST SP 800-171 controls for defense-funded research.

Banking and asset management

GLBA Safeguards Rule compliance, wire-fraud defenses and penetration testing for client-facing systems.

Advanced manufacturing and energy

Segmented plant networks, protection for equipment that can’t be patched and tested recovery plans.

The local threat landscape

What Pittsburgh businesses are up against

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

Ransomware on health systems

Hospitals and the vendors that connect to them are targeted because downtime affects patient care. Attackers often get in through a third party with remote access.

Research and source code theft

Robotics, AI and autonomy companies hold models, code and data with real commercial and military value. Foreign intelligence services and competitors both go after them, often through phishing and exposed cloud repositories.

Wire and investment fraud

Banks, asset managers and law firms move large sums. Attackers compromise email accounts to redirect transfers or impersonate clients asking for withdrawals.

Breach and privacy law in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania’s breach law got stricter in 2024

Pennsylvania requires businesses to notify affected residents without unreasonable delay after discovering a breach. Since a 2024 update, businesses must also notify the Attorney General when more than 500 Pennsylvanians are affected, and offer credit monitoring and a credit report when Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or driver’s license or state ID numbers are exposed. When more than 1,000 people are notified, the consumer reporting agencies must be told too. Health and financial firms carry federal duties on top: HIPAA’s breach rule and the FTC Safeguards Rule. Your attorney decides what applies; we give you the facts of what happened, fast.

Pittsburgh FAQ

Cybersecurity in Pittsburgh: common questions

We’re a university spinout with federal research funding. What security do we need?

It depends on the funding and the data. Defense-funded work often brings NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC requirements, and research security rules apply to many federal awards. We help you work out what your agreements require, then put the controls in place and document them.

We’re a vendor to a health system. Will they test our security?

Many health systems now send detailed vendor risk questionnaires and ask for a recent penetration test or SOC 2 report before granting access. We can test your environment, fix what we find with you and help you prepare evidence that answers those reviews.

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

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