Problem

Custom-built AI agents connect to systems of record, build with MCP servers and third-party connectors, and go to production with an attack surface that no one has fully mapped.

Solution

Straiker first maps every agent, MCP server, and connector in your environment, then continuously tests them for agentic AI threats before deployment and protects them at runtime.

What's at stake when custom-built agents are unsecured

When your team uses:

risk 01

Agents vulnerable to prompt injections

Attackers inject malicious instructions through documents, APIs, and agent-to-agent communication. Poisoned MCP servers and compromised tools compound the risk, turning trusted integrations into attack vectors.

Risk 02

Data exfiltration through tool chains

Agents with broad access and risky MCP connections can move laterally across your systems, leading to unauthorized access and data exposure. And because agents are ephemeral, they can be hard to trace after the damage is done.

Risk 03

Expensive compliance gaps auditors will find

Agentic deployments need to meet specific technical controls that require continuous risk assessment, audit trails, and policy enforcement, including tool call validation, prompt injection logging, and containment testing for multi-agent systems.

Questions Straiker helps you answer

Are my agents vulnerable to prompt injection and tool call abuse before they reach production?

What MCP servers and tool integrations are my agents connected to, and are any of them risky?

If an agent is hijacked, what's the blast radius across connected systems?

Can I prove to auditors that my agents are continuously tested and monitored?

Are my agents leaking sensitive data through tool chains or cross-connector pivots?

Do I have full visibility into agent permissions, tool usage, and data access patterns?

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of custom-built agents does Straiker support?

Straiker supports custom AI agents built with AWS Bedrock AgentCore, Azure AI Foundry, Azure Copilot Studio, MCP, LangChain, and custom orchestration frameworks. Teams can integrate Straiker with a single line of code through an API, SDK, webhook, or gateway.

How does Ascend AI test my agents differently than a manual pen test?

Manual penetration tests are one-time snapshots. Ascend AI runs continuous, automated adversarial testing that adapts to your agent's behavior, probing multi-turn conversations, tool-call chains, and data-exfiltration paths across multiple attack categories and strategies. It can test with every build, prompt change, or configuration update.

What threats does Defend AI block at runtime?

Defend AI provides real-time protection against prompt injection, data exfiltration, tool misuse, agent hijacking, remote code execution, resource exhaustion, harmful content generation, and toxic outputs. It monitors both inputs and outputs and blocks threats at subsecond latency.

How does Straiker help with AI compliance (OWASP, NIST, EU AI Act)?

Straiker helps organizations manage AI security and compliance by mapping testing and monitoring results to the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs and Agentic AI, NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, and EU AI Act requirements. Continuous assessment provides audit trails and evidence across the organization's AI agent inventory.

Can Straiker protect multi-agent systems?

Yes. Straiker secures multi-agent systems by monitoring agent-to-agent communication and tool-delegation chains. It detects attempts by compromised agents to manipulate, hijack, or misuse other agents in the system.

How is this different from the guardrails built into my LLM provider?

LLM-level guardrails protect the model. Straiker protects the agent: its tool calls, MCP connections, data access, multi-turn reasoning, and the actions it takes in your environment. These are different attack surfaces, so model-level guardrails alone don't secure the full agentic application.
