Straiker’s Technology & Channel Partnerships for AI Agent Security

AI has shifted the market faster than most organizations can keep up. Customers are trying to understand what AI agents mean for their business, how to deploy them safely, and where the new risks sit. They are increasingly turning to the partners they already trust and to vendors building at the cutting edge of AI.

That is why we are launching the Straiker Partner Collective. We are bringing together cloud providers, services firms, resellers, systems integrators, and ISVs to help customers adopt and secure AI agents with confidence, while giving our partners a meaningful opportunity to build with us in a rapidly emerging market.

Why Do Enterprises Need an AI Agent Security Partner Ecosystem? Why’s Straiker Investing In a Partner Ecosystem? 

Agentic security is not a problem any single vendor can reach every customer with. Enterprise buyers transact through their cloud marketplaces, trusted advisors (like yourself), or it is in embedded software they already run. That’s why we are putting real resources behind the Straiker Partner Collective, because our customers already work this way:

  • People. Dedicated partner managers and solution engineers who build joint offerings with you, not just a portal login.
  • Product. Marketplace-ready transactions, APIs for embedding Straiker into your own services, and multi-tenant deployment models built for partner-delivered engagements.
  • Enablement. Technical certification paths for your field teams, hands-on training against real agentic attack scenarios, and co-brandable assessment offerings you can take to market in weeks.
  • Marketing. Co-marketing funds, joint content and events, and demand programs that put your name next to the agentic security category while it is still being defined.

We are doing this for one reason: customers get to secure agents faster when the partner they already trust shows up with Straiker in hand.

What Does Straiker's AI Agent Security Platform Do?

Every partner motion is built on three products that cover the agent lifecycle:

Straiker Discover AI: AI Agent Discovery and Posture Management

Straiker Discover AI maps every AI agent, MCP server, and agentic workflow in a customer's environment. You cannot secure what you cannot see, so this is where nearly every engagement starts.

Straiker Ascend AI: Red Teaming and AI Agent Security Testing

Straiker Ascend AI continuously red-teams those agents using real-world agentic attack datasets, exposing prompt injection, goal hijacking, and tool misuse before attackers find them.

Straiker Defend AI: Threat Detection and Runtime Security for AI Agents  

Straiker Defend AI enforces protection at runtime, detecting and blocking injection attempts, data exfiltration, and off-policy behavior on live traffic with 98.1% threat detection accuracy.

Together, Discover AI, Ascend AI, and Defend AI provide a lifecycle approach to AI agent security: discover, test, and protect. Partners can lead with any of the three and expand from there.

AI Security Partnerships for Cloud Service Providers

Cloud service providers are where agentic workloads live and where enterprises want to transact. AWS has been a great partner here. Straiker is available in AWS Marketplace, which means AWS customers can buy through private offers, draw down committed cloud spend, and land Straiker alongside the agents they are already building on AWS. AWS sellers get a co-sell motion with a security story their customers are actively asking for.

For cloud providers, the Collective delivers marketplace listings, co-sell alignment with your field, and joint solution architectures that put agentic security into the same transaction as the agents themselves.

Frontier Lab and Model Provider Partnerships

The labs building frontier models want their customers to deploy agents safely, because unsafe deployments slow adoption for everyone. Straiker was named an OpenAI Select Partner, helping enterprises securely build, deploy, and scale AI agents with testing, runtime protection, and policy enforcement. For frontier labs, partnering with Straiker gives your enterprise customers a proven answer to the security question that stalls agent rollouts.

Reseller and VAR Partnerships for Agentic Security

Resellers own the customer relationship, and agentic security is one of the clearest new line items in the security budget. Collective resellers get protected margins on registered deals, deal registration that actually protects the partner who did the work, and a product suite that attaches naturally to the AI initiatives your customers are already funding. Register once, and the deal is yours to run with our team behind you.

Systems Integrator and Consultancy Partnerships

Consultancies and systems integrators have produced some of our strongest engagements through assessment-led motions: an AI readiness or AI risk assessment, delivered by the partner and powered by Straiker. The partner leads with advisory value, Discover AI and Ascend AI supply the findings, and the customer walks away with an inventory and a tested attack surface instead of a slide deck. The Collective packages this as a co-brandable offering your practice can deliver from day one.

ISV and Technology Partnerships: Embedded Agentic Security

ISVs shipping agentic products face the security question twice, for themselves and for their customers. Collective ISVs embed Defend AI behind their own agents, turning security from an objection in their sales cycle into a feature of their product. If your roadmap includes agents, your roadmap includes securing them.

How Partners Change Customer Outcomes

The proof is in the engagements partners have already brought us:

  • A global financial services firm transacted through a cloud marketplace, with the cloud provider's field team at the table. Discover AI surfaced dozens of unsanctioned agents and copilots with access to customer data. The marketplace path meant procurement took weeks instead of quarters, and the CISO's question changed from "do we need this?" to "how fast can we expand coverage?"
  • A health system preparing a patient-facing agent asked their systems integrator for a pre-launch red team. The SI delivered it on Ascend AI, found prompt injection paths into scheduling data, and got the fixes in before launch. The customer got one accountable partner for build and security, and continuous testing became a standing requirement.
  • A national retailer heading into peak season learned through partner-led testing that their shopping assistant could be steered into honoring fabricated discount codes. That finding alone paid for the engagement. They went into the holidays with Defend AI in the path, deployed by the same partner that ran the test.
  • A healthcare payer engaged through a consultancy-led AI readiness assessment and discovered their real exposure was AI embedded in vendor SaaS tools no procurement review had flagged. The consultancy turned an abstract governance debate into a board-ready inventory, with Straiker underneath.

Different verticals, one pattern: the partner brings the trust and the delivery, Straiker brings the agentic security depth, and the customer moves faster with both.

Why AI Agent Security Matters Now

Agents are the attack surface now, and the research shows how exposed they are. Straiker STAR Labs research found that 91% of successful attacks against productivity agents resulted in silent data exfiltration, with no jailbreak, phishing link, or malware required. Coding agents aren’t safe either; in fact, they are the highest-risk AI you run. In testing, 36% of successful attacks reached remote code execution.

As agents gain access to more data, tools, applications, and enterprise systems, organizations need security capabilities that can keep pace with how these systems actually operate.

The partners who move early can help define how enterprises adopt and secure this new generation of AI and build new capabilities and offerings around it.
