Strider is pleased to introduce Services, a new set of offerings to help private-sector organizations develop advanced economic security programs to better manage state-sponsored risks.
Through customized, hands-on training, Services empowers security professionals to enhance their existing economic security program, utilize high-impact data and research, and increase competitiveness in a rapidly changing global risk landscape.
Services is led by Strider expert Gunnar Newquist, who has 30 years of experience as a special agent at the US Naval Criminal Investigative Services, along with 10 years of experience working with major corporations on corporate security issues, including Deloitte and Boeing.
Services is separated into three offerings designed to meet your organization’s current needs. Each offering can be purchased separately or can be purchased as a comprehensive package.
Environment
To secure your organization effectively, you need to comprehend both external and internal environments. Externally, you need to understand what foreign governments are seeking and how they get what they want. What technologies are they after? What steps do they take to get what they are after? Internally, you must understand who (i.e., employees, collaborators, or visitors) and what (i.e., specific technology, critical infrastructure, or data) are likely to be targeted.
Services helps you to understand these two areas intimately so that you can allocate your resources strategically and be prepared to protect what matters effectively.
Strategy
With so many potential risks and threats in unique circumstances constantly requiring your attention, it can be easy to slip into reactive, ad-hoc security responses. Services partners with you to develop a proactive security response that works for you and your organization. It includes developing robust threat assessments, risk prevention strategies, and clear investigative plans.
Protect proactively and clearly by having a comprehensive strategy written and processed before risks turn into threats.
Education
Educating your people, stakeholders, and executives in a thoughtful way not only builds trust within your organization, it also empowers employees to make wise decisions to avoid getting entangled in relationships that could hurt them and the company.
Services provides a paradigm to educate your organization of the most pertinent information based on your audience concerning state-sponsored risk. It includes developing training materials for targeted work unit, executives, and all employees at large.

Since its founding in 2019, Strider has taken a unique approach to managing state-sponsored risk. Traditionally, companies and governments have used a manual, case-by-case response. But as foreign governments increasingly exploit organizations’ intellectual property and talent to further their national objectives, a faster, more automated security response is needed. The first of its kind for state-sponsored risk, Strider takes a big-data approach. We leverage open-source intelligence to provide organizations with actionable data that allows them to visualize, manage, and respond to state-sponsored risk and supply chain vulnerabilities.
Industry in the Crosshairs
Foreign governments have always used tactics to obtain information that could help expand their technological and military prowess—the difference today is how they’re going about it. Historically, state-sponsored actors focused on collecting classified information at a government-to-government level. Today, we also know they focus on growing their strategic advantages through the global economy. That means collecting valuable information across a wide range of industries, like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, electric vehicles, and even agriculture equipment. As we have entered this new era of geopolitical competition, many companies are at a heightened risk of state-sponsored intellectual property theft.
Strider was founded on a clear purpose, “protecting the ideals and innovations of the free world.” We achieve that purpose by providing our clients strategic intelligence and subject-matter expertise.
Strategic intelligence at your fingertips
Now that private organizations are more in the crosshairs of foreign governments than ever before, the most effective way to combat this risk is with visibility. What technologies are foreign governments targeting? What tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) are they leveraging? How do they find, contact, and recruit key employees? How does an organization know which of their suppliers have ties to government and military organizations? These questions are critical in securing your IP, talent, and supply chains.
Strider collects open-source data globally from over 31,000 primary sources in multiple languages. With over 7 billion documents in our system and 12 million more added every day, Strider delivers actionable insights without our clients providing any internal data. This dynamic data reaches across borders with source documents gathered from countries including the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Russia, and Iran. The data is then processed and merged with global patents, research publications, government websites, career profiles, and other publicly available sources.
But having all that raw data is meaningless unless you can turn it into contextualized, actionable intelligence. That’s where our proprietary methodology comes in. Strider leverages multiple different AI and machine learning (ML) technologies, including natural language processing (NLP), automated machine translation, hierarchical clustering, transformers, and other AI/ML technologies. These tools allow us to quickly organize, analyze, and pull the most relevant insights for our clients in the timeliest manner possible.
Our intelligence is currently channeled into three products:
- Identify and respond to state-sponsored risk in your organization at industry and individual levels. See which of your talent and technology is at the highest risk of being targeted, so you can get a more proactive view of where to focus your time, attention, and resources.
- Defend against state-sponsored communication attempts directed at your organization. Shield can be integrated directly into your existing security capabilities and flag any risky emails or other communication attempts.
- Organizations Search is third-party due diligence tool that provides visibility into state-sponsored security, compliance, and reputational risk. Strider’s automated screening process provides actionable and contextualized data that allows clients to adapt more quickly to changing business and compliance needs.
Subject-matter experts at the ready
State-sponsored risk is complex, continually developing, and can feel overwhelming at times. Even with heightened visibility, you might be left wondering about the best course of action. For that reason, we also make available a team of leading experts on protection, big data, tradecraft, finance, and analytics. The Strider Global Intelligence Team comes from top government agencies and companies from around the world.
Our team answers questions, provides insight, conducts Requests for Information (RFIs), and offers additional context when needed. This deeper, supplemental intelligence has proven invaluable for our clients time and time again.
