What Strider Technologies does

Strider Technologies is a Salt Lake City-based strategic intelligence company founded in 2019 by Greg Levesque, Eric Levesque, and Mike Brown to address state-sponsored intellectual property theft, supply-chain infiltration, and nation-state risk to organizations. It sells the Strider Strategic Intelligence Platform — a cloud-based OSINT system that ingests more than 10 billion multilingual documents from 90,000+ hard-to-access sources (with 12M+ new documents added daily), applies a proprietary risk methodology with 15+ risk signals, and surfaces nation-state exposure across people, organizations, technologies, and software supply chains. The platform bundles module products (Insights, People Search, Organizations Search, Open Source Software Search, Shield, Data Catalog, Intelligence Center) with the proprietary Spark generative AI engine, the Deep Research capability, and the Strider OS agentic operating system launched in April 2026. Strider's technology differentiates on a zero-touch architecture that does not require customer internal data, API-native integration into SIEM/DLP/ATS systems, and multilingual analysis of adversary-side sources in the PRC, Russia, and Iran that are typically out of reach for Western commercial intelligence providers.

The company serves a Fortune 100/500 enterprise base (self-reported "7 of the Fortune 10"), US and allied government customers (US Air Force, NATO, multiple US state governments), and academic/research institutions. Revenue is generated primarily through custom-quoted, multi-year enterprise subscriptions to the platform (sold via direct field sales and "Request a Demo"), supplemented by professional services for economic-security program development and licensing of curated data assets (Data Catalog) to public-sector customers. The company has raised approximately $112M across four equity rounds through Series C (Sept 2024, $55M led by Pelion Venture Partners), operates across 15-16 countries with 250+ employees, and has assembled a senior talent bench drawn heavily from former CIA, NSA, FBI, CSIS, and UK Ministry of Defence officials, supported by Oracle Defense Ecosystem membership and academic partnerships with FIU and USU.

The platform delivers risk assessments across people, organizations, technologies, and networks to Fortune 100/500 enterprises, government agencies, and academic institutions via a web portal, APIs, and professional services.

Product overview

Strider Technologies sells a single unified platform — the Strider Strategic Intelligence Platform — augmented by an agentic AI infrastructure layer (Strider OS) and a proprietary AI engine (Spark). The platform combines open-source intelligence, Strider's patented data collection process, and proprietary risk methodology to transform global, multilingual data into decision-ready nation-state threat intelligence. Module-level products (Insights, People Search, Organizations Search, Open Source Software Search, Shield, Data Catalog, and Intelligence Center) address distinct dimensions of risk across people, organizations, supply chains, software dependencies, and inbound communications, while Spark and Deep Research deliver the AI-powered analytics layer (natural-language search, generative AI risk summaries, automated analyst-grade reports) that ties the modules together. Solutions such as State-Sponsored Risk, Third Party Due Diligence, Email Security, and Falsified Resume Screening bundle these products around specific use cases, and Services provides hands-on program development.
