Strider for Financial Services & Banking
Securing the Infrastructure Behind Global Finance
Protect your financial institutions from nation-state threats targeting personnel, counterparties, and critical systems.
Strider helps financial institutions proactively identify and mitigate these risks, protecting customer trust, meeting regulatory expectations, and maintaining operational resilience.
Financial Services & Banking Sectors
Financial Services
Beyond large banks and fintechs, many financial services organisations—such as payment providers, clearinghouses, insurers, and specialty finance firms—operate with high-trust personnel, sensitive data, and global partners, but lack visibility into nation-state–driven risk.
How Strider Helps:
- Screen vendors, contractors, and service providers for hidden foreign ownership and state ties
- Protect fraud, compliance, and money-movement teams from insider exploitation
- Identify sanctions and export-control exposure across global operations
Enterprise Financial Institutions
Large financial institutions operate across borders, regulatory bodies, and high-risk jurisdictions. That scale creates exposure to insider threats, geopolitical pressure on personnel, and hidden foreign influence across deals, partnerships, and critical technology programs.
How Strider Helps:
- Screen employees and contractors with privileged network or system access
- Vet hardware and software vendors for foreign control or restricted-entity ties
- Detect state-sponsored recruitment efforts targeting engineering teams
Fintech & Digital Asset Companies
Fintech and digital asset platforms operate in targeted environments. Payment rails, wallets, and blockchain infrastructure are targets for DPRK proxy workers, insider exploitation, and sanctions evasion—enabled through falsified identities or vendors.
How Strider Helps:
- Detect DPRK proxy workers and fraudulent IT hires before system access is granted
- Protect payment rails, wallets, and settlement infrastructure from insider exploitation
- Vet vendors, processing centres, and liquidity partners for foreign control or sanctions exposure
Investment Firms
Investment firms operate under growing scrutiny from regulators such as the SEC, CFIUS, and OFAC—where even indirect exposure to foreign influence or sanctioned entities can derail deals, freeze assets, or damage reputation.
How Strider Helps:
- Vet LPs, co-investors, and board members for hidden foreign influence and sanctions risk
- Strengthen pre-deal and M&A due diligence with multi-tier ownership and counterparty visibility
- Monitor portfolio companies for emerging nation-state exposure that could trigger regulatory review
