Frequently asked questions
What does Straiker actually do?
It is an AI agent security platform with three products: Discover AI inventories every AI agent, MCP server and agentic workflow in the environment; Ascend AI is an adversarial testing engine that probes agents for prompt injection, goal hijacking, tool misuse and inter-agent manipulation; and Defend AI provides runtime detection and blocking of identity abuse, memory poisoning, data exfiltration and resource exploitation, including an agentic kill switch.
Who is Straiker built for?
The vendor says it is built for enterprises deploying AI agents in production, including banks and financial services, hospitals and healthcare organizations, technology and AI companies, media and entertainment, and retail and ecommerce. The buying centre it names is CISOs and security leaders, AI engineering, AppSec, product security, offensive security and red teams, plus governance, risk and compliance teams.
What does Straiker cost?
No pricing is published on the vendor site - the site is demo-led, with a free AI risk assessment offered as the entry point. Budget for an enterprise, quote-based subscription; there is no published free tier, self-serve plan or public seat price. Treat any figure you hear from a third party as unverified and confirm scope, agent count and runtime coverage directly with the vendor.
Does Straiker require agents to be live before we can use it?
No. The vendor positions Ascend AI for pre-launch adversarial testing - the published Emergent case study describes red-teaming a connected AI assistant before a single user logged in - alongside runtime protection once agents are in production. Discovery of agents, MCP servers and skills is the first step, so teams can start from an inventory and posture review rather than waiting for a production rollout.
What compliance certifications does Straiker hold?
The pages reviewed - home, about, privacy, contact and customers - do not include a trust or security page and do not claim SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP or ISO 42001. No AI management certification or individual AI governance certification is stated. Ask the vendor directly for current attestations, penetration-test evidence, a DPA and data-handling terms before you commit.
Which agent ecosystems and platforms does Straiker cover?
The vendor organises its solutions around coding agents, custom-built agents and productivity agents, plus MCP security and AI compliance and governance. MCP servers are treated as first-class assets: they are discovered alongside agents and skills, and the vendor cites STAR Labs research that a large share of catalogued MCP tools are dangerous on their face. Integrations with other named platforms are not published among the pages reviewed.
