🚨 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
✅ Move beyond traditional AI guardrails toward purpose-built runtime security for autonomous systems

Straiker’s platform combines Discover AI for agent visibility, Ascend AI for adversarial testing, and Defend AI for real-time runtime protection.

💡 The fundamental cybersecurity shift is simple: AI agents do not merely answer questions. They execute. When AI systems can use tools, access credentials, manipulate data, and take autonomous actions, the attack surface expands dramatically.

Straiker is focused on helping enterprises deploy and scale those agents safely by discovering what they are doing, testing how they can be manipulated, and stopping unsafe behavior at runtime.

The company has also demonstrated significant market momentum. In June 2026, Straiker announced a $64 million Series A, bringing its total funding to $85 million, with the company saying its technology is being used by Fortune 500 enterprises and frontier AI labs.

🎙️ Hosted by Annabelle Thomas, Cybersecurity Champion of @CyberDefenseMag

In this powerful Hotseat Podcast interview, Paul Martini, CEO & CTO of iboss, joins Cyber Defense Radio to discuss how the cybersecurity perimeter has fundamentally changed and why organizations need an AI-powered, cloud-native approach to Zero Trust, SASE, application security, and data protection.

iboss delivers an AI-powered Zero Trust SASE platform designed to protect users, applications, and sensitive data wherever work happens. Its platform brings together Zero Trust Network Access, Secure Web Gateway, CASB, DLP, Browser Isolation, and other security capabilities through a unified cloud service.

Discover how iboss helps organizations:
✅ Replace legacy VPNs, proxies, and appliance-heavy security architectures with cloud-native Zero Trust SASE
✅ Protect users and sensitive information wherever employees, contractors, applications, and data are located
✅ Gain visibility and control across cloud applications, private applications, web traffic, and emerging AI-powered services
✅ Discover and risk-score unknown, newly created, and AI-embedded applications with AI-powered CASB capabilities
✅ Strengthen data protection with integrated DLP and application controls designed to help prevent sensitive information from reaching unauthorized destinations
✅ Provide secure access to private applications through ZTNA without exposing broad network access
✅ Isolate risky web sessions using browser isolation technology that keeps potentially dangerous web content away from endpoints
✅ Consolidate security capabilities into a unified cloud platform while reducing reliance on fragmented point products and legacy infrastructure

💡 As applications, users, and sensitive data move far beyond the traditional network perimeter, cybersecurity can no longer depend on securing a physical location.

The future is about protecting every connection, understanding where sensitive data is moving, and continuously enforcing Zero Trust policies wherever business happens.

iboss currently protects more than 4,000 organizations worldwide and combines technologies including ZTNA, SWG, CASB, DLP, Browser Isolation, AI Chat Security, and AI-powered threat detection within its platform.

In this powerful Hotseat Podcast interview, Ankita Gupta, Co-Founder & CEO of Akto, joins Cyber Defense Radio to discuss one of cybersecurity’s fastest-growing challenges: securing AI agents, MCP environments, LLM-powered applications, and the APIs that connect them.

Learn how Akto helps organizations:
✅ Discover AI agents, MCP servers, APIs, and previously unmanaged attack surfaces
✅ Secure Model Context Protocol environments as AI agents connect directly to enterprise tools and sensitive data
✅ Identify risks such as prompt injection, excessive permissions, insecure authentication, tool abuse, and unauthorized API access
✅ Continuously test AI agents, MCPs, and APIs for emerging vulnerabilities
✅ Apply security controls and runtime protections to reduce the risk of dangerous agent actions
✅ Gain greater visibility into shadow AI and unmanaged infrastructure across enterprise environments
✅ Protect the APIs that increasingly connect AI agents, applications, data, and business systems

💡 As AI agents move from simply generating answers to actually taking actions, enterprises need a new security model built around continuous discovery, testing, visibility, and protection.
