Frequently Asked Questions
What types of threats does Strider Technologies cover?
Strider focuses specifically on state-sponsored threats—nation-state actors targeting organizations' people, intellectual property, supply chains, open source software, and technology assets. It does not cover general cybercrime or non-state threat actors.
How does the Spark AI engine work?
Spark uses AI and natural language processing to let users query Strider's threat intelligence database in plain language across multiple languages. It delivers real-time analysis and can incorporate internal organizational data for more contextualized results.
Who is Strider designed for?
Strider is built for large enterprises (particularly Fortune 500 companies), government agencies, academic institutions, and organizations in critical infrastructure, financial services, and high-tech sectors that face elevated exposure to nation-state threats.
How does Strider integrate with existing security infrastructure?
The Shield product provides a threat intelligence dataset tied to state-sponsored actors that is designed for seamless integration with SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and DLP (Data Loss Prevention) systems already in use by enterprise security teams.
Can Strider help with hiring and HR screening?
Yes. Strider's People Screening capability allows organizations to screen job candidates and existing employees for nation-state ties and falsified resume credentials, which is especially valuable for roles with access to sensitive data or intellectual property.
