Defend AI Runtime Security & Guardrails
Detect and block prompt injection, data exfiltration, and agent manipulation in coding agents, productivity agents, and custom-built AI agents.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Defend AI delivers runtime security for AI agents across coding copilots like Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot, productivity agents like MS Copilot and ChatGPT Enterprise, and custom-built agents on AWS Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry. Powered by a high-efficacy AI engine, not legacy rule-based approaches, it inspects every prompt, reasoning step, and tool call to stop prompt injection, data exfiltration, and agent manipulation in real time.
Protect Every AI Agent Type
Coding Agents
AI coding agents take real actions like running commands, calling APIs, connecting to external tools. Straiker blocks destructive actions, data exfiltration of company secrets, and malicious MCP connections at runtime.
Custom-Built Agents
Your custom AI agents make dozens of autonomous decisions per session. Straiker monitors every step at runtime by catching jailbreaks, enforcing safe tool use, and flagging compliance gaps.
Productivity Agents
Productivity agents read your email, access your calendar, and act across your entire SaaS stack. Straiker catches hidden malicious instructions that can hijack your agent.
Runtime Security and Protection for AI Agents
AI agents are dynamic, multi-step, and unpredictable, making accurate threat detection uniquely hard. Defend AI is the industry's first runtime security engine trained on millions of real-world agent traces, delivering 6-21x lower false positive rates than frontier model judges with 98.1% detection accuracy at <300ms latency.
Runtime Security for AI Agents
Stop direct and indirect prompt injection, data exfiltration, and agent manipulation across coding agents, productivity agents, custom-built agents, and multi-agent workflows.
Multimodal Threat Detection
Detect threats hidden in text, code, images, audio, and file uploads that single-mode tools miss. Multi-language support included.
MCP & Tool Security
Identify malicious or vulnerable MCP servers and tool connections in real time, backed by Straiker's MCP Threat Database that is purpose-built to cover local and remote MCP risks where misclassifications have real consequences
AI Agent Observability & Forensics
Trace every interaction across the user, model, tool chain, and agent-to-agent calls for root-cause analysis. for root-cause analysis, anomaly detection, and audit readiness.
Application grounding & Output Safety
Detect and suppress application drift, toxic output, and policy violations before they reach users or downstream systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Defend AI protect coding agents like Cursor and GitHub Copilot?
Defend AI secures coding agents such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Code with runtime protection against destructive actions, data exfiltration, and malicious MCP server and Skill connections. It can detect and block actions such as file deletion and configuration changes while protecting proprietary code and secrets in development environments.
How does Defend AI secure productivity agents like MS Copilot and Salesforce Agentforce?
Defend AI detects data exfiltration across SaaS applications, blocks prompt injection delivered through enterprise content like emails and documents, and surfaces unapproved agent usage. Agentic traces give security teams full visibility into how productivity agents interact with enterprise data.
What is runtime security for custom-built AI agents?
Runtime security protects custom-built AI agents from threats that emerge while agents execute multi-step tool call chains. For agents built on AWS Bedrock, Azure Foundry, and MCP, Defend AI detects jailbreaks, prompt injection, and malicious MCP server configurations while supporting compliance with NIST AI RMF, OWASP, and the EU AI Act.
How does Defend AI detect data exfiltration from AI agents?
Defend AI uses semantic detection to identify data exfiltration attempts across all agent types. It monitors for extraction of PII, PCI, HIPAA-regulated data, proprietary source code, and secrets across text, code, images, and file uploads, catching exfiltration vectors that traditional DLP tools miss.
What is MCP security and why does it matter?
MCP security protects AI agents from risks introduced by their connections to MCP servers, tools, and data sources. Because MCP servers extend what agents can access and do, they also expand the attack surface. Defend AI identifies malicious, poisoned, or vulnerable MCP servers in real time using Straiker's MCP Threat Database, helping prevent supply chain attacks and unauthorized data access.
