Research Security
Strategic intelligence that surfaces nation-state risk before it reaches your people, partnerships, or IP.
Wherever research happens, nation-state adversaries target the people, partnerships, and pre-publication ideas behind tomorrow’s breakthroughs. The open collaboration and global talent flows that drive progress also widen the attack surface, usually beyond what traditional disclosure and compliance can catch.
The result is a growing blind spot, with risk surfacing in places like:
Researchers, visiting scholars, contractors, and staff can hold undisclosed affiliations or talent-programme ties that put grants, IP, and reputation at risk.
Joint ventures and collaborations can carry hidden links to restricted militaries or sanctioned organisations.
Adversaries target the ideas behind tomorrow’s breakthroughs before they’re ever published.
Strider supports the workflows that protect institutional integrity and accelerate confident decisions across research-producing organisations. With Strider, you can:
Verify that researchers, principal investigators, and key personnel have fully disclosed foreign affiliations, talent-programme participation, and funding sources—safeguarding eligibility for federal grants, contracts, and sponsored research.
Conduct due diligence on prospective and existing partners—universities, labs, sponsors, vendors, and subsidiaries—to surface restricted-entity ties, hidden ownership structures, and high-risk personnel before agreements are signed.
Get a continuously updated view of nation-state risk connected to your people and critical research, enabling faster, more informed decisions before exposure becomes incident.
Identify researchers working in technology areas targeted by competing nation-states and proactively brief them on adversary tactics before travel, conferences, joint engagements, and critical project milestones.
Identify targeted recruitment and intelligence-collection attempts aimed at your employees, and surface prior contact across historical communications.
If your organisation produces, funds, or stewards research that advances scientific or strategic capability, you are a nation-state target. Strider gives your teams the intelligence to protect breakthroughs without closing doors.
