Following a $64M Series A, Straiker is bringing security and control to the enterprise AI agent workforce

Agentic AI performs security work across the SOC, AppSec, cloud, identity, and more, while agentic security protects enterprise AI agents.

Discover how Straiker was named a winner in five categories at the 2026 Top InfoSec Innovator Awards, recognizing leadership in agentic AI security, AI exposure management, and innovation.

Using evidence from Cybercartel's own systems, Straiker reveals how CARLIY0S used multiple AI models to coordinate attacks against Latin American banks and payment providers.

Straiker is the first security partner to give Workday customers verifiable evidence that an AI agent has been tested for adversarial resilience before they install it.

Straiker is listed as a Sample Vendor in the Agentic AI Security category of two Gartner Hype Cycle reports published October 12, 2026: Hype Cycle for Secure AI, 2026 and Hype Cycle for AI-Driven Cybersecurity, 2026.

Recognition highlights Straiker's approach to securing enterprise AI agents through discovery, adversarial testing, runtime protection, and containment.

A Claude Code session launched a new Claude Code session that did not encounter the same guardrails. A malicious SessionStart hook then ran automatically and quietly sent data from the developer’s computer to an attacker-controlled server before Claude detected what had happened.

Straiker is listed as a Sample Vendor in Gartner’s 2026 Emerging Tech Impact Radar: AI Cybersecurity Ecosystem for both AI Security Testing and AI Security Platforms. Amy Heng looks at what the shift toward agents means for AI security testing, runtime protection, and enterprise security budgets.

Traditional security tools were built to protect users, endpoints, & networks. Learn where it falls short for AI risks and the best way to secure your agents.

A malicious repo downgraded Claude Code’s review from Fable to Haiku, steered the agent away from the payload, and turned a routine test run into malware execution.

Gartner named Straiker a Pioneer in its Emerging Market Quadrant for AI Application Security. Explore the quadrant, evaluation criteria, and Straiker’s approach.

Not every AI security control reduces real-world risk. Ask these nine questions about tool calls, runtime enforcement, detection, and agent containment.

See how Kong AI Gateway and Straiker combine agent discovery, adversarial testing, runtime protection, and an Agentic Kill Switch to secure enterprise AI agents from connection to shutdown.

Learn why firewalls and EDR can miss shadow AI, and how endpoint-based discovery helps security teams identify AI tools, agents, and local models.

AI agents are creating a new enterprise attack surface. The Straiker Partner Collective, brings partners together to discover, test, and defend AI agents.

Heimdall is a cyber-hardened AI sandbox for high-risk agent training and evaluations, with independent controls for isolation, egress, telemetry, and shutdown.

Why input filtering fails against indirect prompt injection in AI agents, and the security controls that actually contain attacks & secure your AI agents.

See how poisoned OpenTelemetry telemetry manipulated an AI SRE agent into deploying a privileged Kubernetes container, escaping to an EKS host, and executing ransomware.

Learn how AI agent runtime security uses context to protect tool calls, MCP servers, Skills, APIs, and agent actions, securing agents before they create impact.

Security research reveals how indirect prompt injection in a malicious email caused an AI agent to hide commands, steal SSH keys, and fool its user.

Straiker has been named an OpenAI Select Partner, helping enterprises securely build, deploy, and scale AI agents with testing, runtime protection, and policy enforcement.

Learn what an AI agent kill switch is, why enterprises need one, and how Straiker can stop rogue, compromised, or unsafe AI agents in seconds.
