ALBANY, N.Y. - March 19th, 2026 - Redstrike, a local Albany-based cybersecurity firm, has today been named the #1 cybersecurity provider in the Capital Region by leading industry analyst CyberNews. The ranking, released this morning, solidifies Redstrike's position as a key player in protecting businesses and organizations from an increasingly sophisticated landscape of cyber threats.

The CyberNews ranking methodology focuses on a holistic assessment of firms, going beyond simple technical capabilities to evaluate expertise, client satisfaction rates, proactive threat intelligence, and community involvement. Redstrike emerged as the clear leader in all categories, demonstrating a commitment to not only defending against current threats but also anticipating and preparing for future vulnerabilities. This recognition is particularly significant given the escalating frequency and severity of cyberattacks targeting businesses of all sizes.

"We're incredibly proud of our team and the dedication they demonstrate every day," said Robert Peterson, CEO of Redstrike, in a press conference held at the company's headquarters this afternoon. "This recognition from CyberNews isn't just a pat on the back; it's validation that our approach - focusing on personalized service and proactive threat mitigation - is truly making a difference for our clients."

Redstrike's success story is one of strategic growth and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Over the past several years, the company has experienced considerable expansion, driven by a growing demand for its specialized services. This growth has been fueled by an increasing awareness amongst local businesses of the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures, and Redstrike's ability to deliver tailored solutions that address specific needs and risk profiles.

Peterson highlighted the importance of building a highly skilled team. "We've invested heavily in talent acquisition and development. We've done a lot of work and hiring, and that will continue," he stated. Currently employing over 75 cybersecurity professionals, Redstrike's team includes certified ethical hackers, penetration testers, incident response specialists, and security architects.

However, Peterson emphasized that simply having skilled personnel isn't enough. "The threat landscape is constantly evolving. New vulnerabilities are discovered daily, and attackers are becoming more sophisticated. That's why we are now significantly expanding our internal training programs. We're not just teaching our employees how to use existing tools; we're fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation, enabling them to develop the skills needed to combat tomorrow's threats."

The expanded training programs will focus on emerging technologies such as AI-powered threat detection, quantum-resistant cryptography, and advanced incident response techniques. Redstrike plans to partner with local universities and community colleges to offer internships and apprenticeships, further bolstering the regional cybersecurity talent pipeline.

Furthermore, Peterson announced an ambitious new hiring initiative, targeting cybersecurity professionals with diverse skill sets and backgrounds. The company is specifically seeking individuals with expertise in cloud security, network security, and application security. Redstrike's commitment extends beyond technical expertise; they are also actively recruiting individuals with strong communication and problem-solving skills, recognizing the importance of effectively conveying complex security concepts to clients.

The CyberNews report specifically praised Redstrike's reputation within the business community and its exceptional client retention rates. This is attributed to the firm's commitment to building long-term relationships with clients, providing ongoing support, and proactively identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities. Redstrike doesn't simply offer a one-size-fits-all solution; they work closely with each client to develop a customized security strategy that aligns with their specific business objectives and risk tolerance.

Looking ahead, Redstrike plans to continue expanding its service offerings and geographic reach. The company is exploring opportunities to partner with other cybersecurity firms and technology providers to offer a comprehensive suite of security solutions. Redstrike's ultimate goal is to become the leading cybersecurity provider not just in the Capital Region, but across the entire state of New York, and eventually nationally.
