Straiker, a leading AI security firm, has introduced powerful new agentic security capabilities in its Ascend AI and Defend AI platforms, empowering enterprises to adopt autonomous AI agents with confidence. These advanced “attack and defense agents,” meticulously trained on real-world agentic exploits, offer continuous security testing, automated enforcement, and comprehensive threat traceability marking the first full-spectrum solution in the market designed specifically for agentic AI threats.
Today, autonomous AI agents are revolutionizing the role of traditional applications. According to the 2025 Stanford AI Index Report, nearly 78% of organizations had already implemented AI technologies in 2024. With just a large language model (LLM) and access to tools or data, these agents can execute intricate workflows within seconds. However, this new frontier brings unprecedented risks. Cyber attackers are now manipulating agents using natural language, giving rise to what Straiker terms “autonomous chaos.” Straiker’s internal research revealed a critical insight: 75% of tested applications were susceptible to prompt injection attacks either direct or indirect leading to potential data breaches.

To counter these threats, Straiker has built an end-to-end protection framework that spans prompt injection defense, reconnaissance detection, tool manipulation mitigation, and exploit forensics. Their solution helps AI security, offensive testing, and application security teams work together more effectively.
Key Capabilities Include:
- With Continuous Agentic Red Teaming, Ascend AI’s attack agents automatically review every prompt, tool use, and data stream to uncover potential vulnerabilities.” These agents simulate real-world attack chains and seamlessly integrate with CI/CD pipelines to provide constant threat assessment and remediation insights.
- Real-Time Agentic Guardrails: Defend AI responds to evolving threats instantly. Without requiring any code changes or adding latency, it updates its guardrail engine to block prompt injections, tool misuse, excessive autonomy, and more.
- Threat Chain Forensics: When breaches occur, Straiker leverages detailed logs and telemetry to reconstruct every prompt and decision point. This end-to-end visibility makes it easier to trace issues back to their source and streamlines compliance audits.

Industry leaders are already praising Straiker’s innovation. Aman Sirohi, CISO at People AI, noted how Straiker’s AI-native red teaming enhanced their cybersecurity posture by delivering dynamic guardrails against malicious exploitation. Dan Garcia, CISO at EnterpriseDB, credited Ascend AI for revealing attack vectors their manual testing missed. A FinTech CISO added that Defend AI deployed guardrails across their systems within seconds, protecting against PII leaks, prompt injections, and more.
Straiker’s co-founder and CEO, Ankur Shah, emphasized the need for real-time defenses: “If you can say it, you can launch an AI agent to act on it. That kind of creative power demands a defense system that’s just as autonomous. Straiker provides smart, real-time protection to help ensure AI stays secure as it evolves.”
With this launch, Straiker sets a new standard for securing AI agents, ensuring innovation doesn’t outpace enterprise safety.
