Straiker Named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Guardian Agents
Straiker is named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Guardian Agents. See how we secure AI agents with 98.1% detection accuracy.
AI agents are the fastest-growing technology of our lifetime. Faster than the cloud. Faster than mobile. In the span of 18 months, autonomous agents have moved from research labs into production workflows at the world's largest enterprises, writing code, managing calendars, executing transactions, and operating across systems with a level of autonomy that no prior generation of software ever approached.
That velocity is thrilling. It is also the source of an entirely new class of security risk that most organizations are dangerously underprepared for.
We are proud to share that Straiker has been named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Guardian Agents (February 2026), in the category of Risk and Security Specialists, defined as providers delivering dedicated AI agent security, posture management, threat detection, and runtime defenses.
It is a milestone that reflects the work our team has been doing since day one: building the security platform that enterprises actually need to deploy agents with confidence. If you are headed to RSAC next week, we would love to connect — come find us there.
The Problem Is Bigger Than Most Realize
Agents do not just inherit the risks of traditional software; they amplify them. Our research at Straiker STAR Labs shows that 91% of successful attacks against productivity agents result in silent data exfiltration, with no jailbreak, no phishing link, and no malware required. The agent simply executes as designed on attacker-crafted content.
The threat surface spans four distinct layers: the model, the tools, the connectors, and the data, and attacks chain across all of them. Add MCP servers, multi-agent orchestration, and enterprise-scale tool registries, and you have a risk profile that legacy firewalls and XDR tools were simply never built to handle.
What Straiker Covers
Straiker is purpose-built for the agentic era, covering the full agent security lifecycle across three integrated capabilities.
Complete Visibility gives security teams a real-time inventory of every agent operating in the environment: first-party deployments, productivity agents like email and document assistants, and coding agents like Cursor and GitHub Copilot. You cannot protect what you cannot see.
Ascend AI continuously stress-tests agents against the most sophisticated attack techniques in the industry, drawing on our 10,000+ MCP vulnerability database. From prompt injection and tool manipulation to indirect attacks via email and document content, we find the gaps before attackers do.
Defend AI monitors and enforces controls in real time, blocking data exfiltration, toolchain abuse, account takeover, and unauthorized agent actions as they happen. We deliver 98.1% detection accuracy, 6-21x lower false positive rates than frontier model judges, at approximately 130ms latency — performance that does not create operational drag.
Built for CISOs. Trusted by the Enterprises Building Tomorrow.
Security leaders do not have time for noisy tools that require constant tuning. Our granular, outcome-based controls are designed so that a single misconfigured detection does not take down your entire protection layer. Each control is independently tunable, debuggable, and reportable.
Agents are not going to slow down. The organizations that will win are the ones that figure out how to govern them safely, and fast. We built Straiker to make that possible.
