Canada’s former spy agency director David Vigneault is making a jump into the private sector, joining U.S. security firm Strider Technologies.

Vigneault’s move to the strategic intelligence company comes amid global concerns about intensifying espionage threats from countries such as China and Russia, the company said in an Aug. 7 press release.
