Straiker Expands to the EU and India with Regional AWS Hosting

Today we're announcing that Straiker has implemented a data sovereign region in partnership with AWS (Frankfurt) to serve our European customers. 

After speaking with many AI leaders in the European region and adjacent geographies, it became very clear to us that data residence was a major concern in the rapidly evolving agentic AI world. At Straiker, we move quickly to address our customers' needs. We've deployed a Europe region within weeks, with an AWS Mumbai region in India to follow closely. 

What does this mean for organizations like yours? If you have direct or requirements that your data remains within the EU, you can now rapidly adopt agentic AI at scale secured by Straiker. An example of this is Italian Law 33, Urgent provisions regarding the perimeter of national cybernetic security. Now known as “Perimeter”¹

For organisations in India, the upcoming AWS Mumbai region will provide a local hosting option to support data residency requirements as they adopt agentic AI at scale.

We live in uncertain times and knowing exactly where your AI data is stored and processed is of paramount importance for critical national infrastructure, banking and defense organisations to name a few. 

Why agentic AI security matters for enterprises

Enterprises have moved past the conversational chatbot pilots. They are increasingly deploying AI agents into production environments, where agents can call tools, access internal data, trigger workflows, and take actions on behalf of customers and employees.

Agents create an attack surface that traditional security tools like Web Application Firewall (WAF) weren't built to see. For example, indirect prompt injection hides in retrieved documents, which can trick agents into calling tools they shouldn't. Another example is that sensitive data can unknowingly leave through a model response instead of a network connection. Blocking a port or URL cannot protect against this. 

Non deterministic security is the only way to effectively guardrail at the token/conversation layer. Writing a rule to capture every way a question may be asked or responded to is simply impossible

Maintain control of your data with customer-managed encryption keys

Data residency is one part of a broader data protection strategy. Straiker also provides customers with the ability to use their own cryptographic keys for encryption, giving organizations greater control over how their data is protected.

With customer-managed encryption keys, customers retain control over their encryption infrastructure and key management. Straiker is designed so that customer data remains private and cannot be accessed or decrypted by Straiker without the appropriate authorization.

This additional layer of control helps organizations address data protection, security, and governance requirements as they expand their use of enterprise AI.

How Straiker Secures the full Agentic Stack

Straiker covers the full agentic stack, from the model up through the application, tools (including MCP and Agent Skills), and data the agent touches. Our three products map to the lifecycle of an agent on AWS:

Straiker Discover AI: find and inventory every agent. Discover AI gives security teams an inventory of the AI agents, models, and MCP servers running across their environment, along with the posture and governance view (AI-SPM) a CISO needs before setting policy.

Straiker Ascend AI: perform adversarial testing for every release. Ascend AI runs continuous adversarial testing against agents before and after launch, using real-world agentic attack datasets. It covers multi-turn attacks, indirect prompt injection, tool misuse, and data exfiltration, and it produces graded evidence that compliance and engineering teams can both act on.

Straiker Defend AI: enforce protection at runtime (and activate the kill switch). Defend AI inspects agent inputs, outputs, and tool calls in real time and blocks what violates policy. Detection runs on an LLM judge model instead of signatures or heuristics, which keeps accuracy high and latency low enough for production traffic. Findings from Ascend AI improve and become Defend AI defenses and guardrails, so every attack you discover in testing turns into a control in production.

Straiker runs on AWS, with Frankfurt supporting data residency in the EU and Mumbai to follow for India. Together with Seoul, this expansion gives us coverage around the world and offers customers more choice in where they secure their agentic AI deployments. 

Secure your agents from attackers now

If you're building AI agents on AWS, we'd like to show you what your agents look like to an attacker. Get a demo or find Straiker in AWS Marketplace.
