🚨 New Episode of Cyber Defense Radio is LIVE!

🎙️ Hosted by Annabelle Thomas, Cybersecurity Champion of @CyberDefenseMag

In this powerful Hotseat Podcast interview, Ankur Shah, Co-Founder & CEO of Straiker, joins Cyber Defense Radio to discuss one of the most urgent challenges in cybersecurity today: protecting the rapidly growing workforce of autonomous AI agents.

AI agents are no longer just generating content. They are connecting to tools, accessing enterprise data, using credentials, calling APIs, interacting with MCP servers, and taking actions on behalf of businesses. Straiker is building an agentic security platform designed specifically for this new attack surface.

Learn how Straiker helps organizations:

✅ Discover AI agents, tools, MCP servers, and connected enterprise workflows

✅ Continuously map and understand agentic activity across the organization

✅ Red team AI agents against real-world attack paths before attackers can exploit them

✅ Detect prompt injection, indirect prompt injection, tool-use abuse, and unsafe agent behavior

✅ Protect AI agents at runtime before dangerous actions, data leakage, or policy violations occur

✅ Secure coding agents, productivity agents, and custom enterprise AI platforms

✅ Give security teams greater control over the emerging agentic workforce
