Targeting of defense and geospatial suppliers
Companies supporting aircraft programs, NGA and the commands at Scott hold data foreign intelligence services want, and smaller suppliers are often the easiest way in.
St. Louis builds military aircraft, maps the world for intelligence agencies and runs major health systems. We test, monitor and defend businesses on both sides of the river, and answer our incident line 24/7.
St. Louis has an unusual mix of high-security industries. Military aircraft are built near Lambert airport, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has its new western campus north of downtown, and Scott Air Force Base in the Metro East hosts U.S. Transportation Command. Around them are major health systems and Washington University’s medical campus, plant science and agtech companies in Creve Coeur and the Cortex district, and financial and wealth management firms headquartered in Clayton and beyond.
Because the metro spans Missouri and Illinois, many businesses here answer to two states’ laws as well as to their federal customers. StrikeProof helps St. Louis companies keep it manageable: penetration testing that shows where attackers could get in, 24/7 SOC monitoring, readiness for CMMC, HIPAA and the rest, and incident response the moment something looks wrong.
NIST SP 800-171 controls, CMMC readiness and DFARS incident reporting that works under pressure.
Hardened environments, monitoring that meets federal customer expectations and tested incident plans.
HIPAA risk assessments, ransomware defenses and protection for research data.
Safeguards for client data, defenses against account takeover and controls for SEC-registered advisers.
Attackers go where the money and the data are. In the St. Louis region, these are the threats we see shaped by the local economy.

Seed genetics, crop science and plant research represent years of investment, and both competitors and state-backed groups have targeted them.
Wealth managers and their clients are targeted with spoofed emails and account takeovers designed to redirect withdrawals and transfers.
Missouri requires businesses to notify affected residents without unreasonable delay, and to notify the Attorney General and the consumer reporting agencies when more than 1,000 residents are affected; the Attorney General enforces the law, with civil penalties for violations. Across the river, Illinois law protects residents of the Metro East: it requires breach notice in the most expedient time possible, notice to its Attorney General when more than 500 Illinois residents are affected, and, under the Biometric Information Privacy Act, written consent before collecting fingerprints or face scans, with a private right of action. Fingerprint time clocks on the Illinois side need particular care.
