Founded in 1994, Starfish Computer Corporation is an IT and cybersecurity firm based in North Olmsted, Ohio. For more than 30 years, we’ve helped businesses across Cleveland, Akron and Northeast Ohio protect their systems, data and reputation, and keep operating when something goes wrong.
We work with organizations of all sizes, most often in manufacturing and financial services: businesses where downtime stops production, and where a single fraudulent wire transfer or data breach can do lasting damage.
Our view is simple: cybersecurity isn’t just an IT line item. It’s part of how a business runs. Here you’ll find practical, sourced guidance on the threats that matter to smaller organizations, including ransomware, payment fraud, AI-driven scams and unpatched systems, along with what to do about them and what it realistically costs.
Starfish is led by President R.J. Arhar, who brings more than 35 years of IT experience. He has served as a consultant to the National Institutes of Health, led IT operations for an international security company with more than 8,000 users, and is the author of Attack or Defend – When is Enough Cybersecurity Enough? In 2022, Starfish was named one of Northeast Ohio’s fastest-growing companies at the Weatherhead 100.
We help businesses with managed IT, security assessments, NIST-aligned cybersecurity planning, cloud and Microsoft 365, VoIP, employee security training, and ongoing support.
