Strider Expands AI Intelligence Platform to Defend Against State-Sponsored IP Theft and Talent Targeting

Salt Lake City, UT – May 20, 2025

Strider Technologies, Inc., the South Jordan, Utah-based leader in strategic intelligence, today announced powerful new capabilities for Spark, its proprietary AI-powered intelligence engine. The upgrades blend cutting-edge generative AI with Strider’s global intelligence platform, giving security teams the ability to identify and mitigate risks from state-sponsored actors faster and more effectively.

As global competition intensifies, hostile nation-states such as China, Russia, and Iran are targeting commercial enterprises, research institutions, and government organizations in increasingly covert campaigns to steal intellectual property and compromise supply chains. Spark allows organizations to spot and respond to these threats in real time—protecting not just sensitive technologies, but the employees behind them.

“More data has been created online in the last three years than in the rest of internet history combined,” said Greg Levesque, CEO and Co-Founder of Strider. “In this data-driven era of global competition, Spark delivers the speed, clarity, and context needed to protect what matters most—people and ideas. This is AI for good: using intelligence to expose and counter the campaigns that put workers and innovation at risk.”

Spark introduces the industry’s first AI-enabled “outside-in” model for security intelligence, fusing Strider’s open-source intelligence with an organization’s internal data. The result: streamlined investigations that used to take weeks can now be done in minutes.

“Speed to insight is what gives organizations a strategic edge,” said Spencer Morris, Strider’s Vice President of Product. “Spark doesn’t just surface critical intelligence—it helps security teams make connections between targeted employees, stolen research, and compromised suppliers. It gives them a 360-degree view of their risk environment.”

Key Capabilities of Spark:

• Real-Time Threat Intelligence
  Spark analyzes billions of data points to identify risks tied to individuals, technologies, and organizations, surfacing potential threats from state-sponsored operations with unmatched speed and accuracy.
• Secure Data Integration
  For the first time, users can securely integrate their internal data with Strider’s proprietary intelligence. Spark’s zero-touch architecture ensures user data remains siloed and protected at all times.
• AI-Powered Discovery Interface
  Spark offers intuitive features like natural language queries, suggested search threads, multilingual input, and real-time replies, enabling fast and frictionless access to deep intelligence.
• Protecting People and Innovation
  The blend of Spark AI with Strider’s intelligence enables teams to quickly identify campaigns that target employees—helping protect individuals and the intellectual property they steward.
• Future-Ready Risk Management
  Spark is just getting started. Over the next 12 months, Strider will release additional AI-powered capabilities to accelerate investigations and further contextualize the evolving threat landscape.
