[Press] Cloocus Partners with Straiker to Strengthen Agentic AI Security in Korea

July 22, 2026 – Cloocus, a cloud and AI managed services provider (www.cloocus.com CEO/Founder Steve Hong), today announced a strategic partnership with Straiker, a global Agentic AI security company. As Straiker’s exclusive partner in Korea, Cloocus will deliver specialized security services designed to address the emerging risks associated with enterprise AI agent adoption.

As enterprises move beyond generative AI and begin deploying AI agents that can make decisions and perform tasks autonomously, a new operating environment is taking shape. These agents can connect directly to corporate data, business systems, and external applications, introducing security risks that traditional controls were not designed to manage. These risks include prompt injection, memory and context poisoning, agent hijacking, remote code execution, and sensitive data leakage or exfiltration.

Straiker provides an AI security platform that helps enterprises discover AI agents and related assets, validate potential vulnerabilities before deployment, and detect and block threats during live operations. Its platform includes Discover AI, which provides visibility and governance into AI assets, permissions, and data access; Ascend AI, which assesses security weaknesses through real-world attack scenarios; and Defend AI, which detects and blocks runtime threats in real time.

These capabilities enable organizations to identify AI agents, AI models, MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, Skills, and other related assets, while analyzing each agent’s permissions and access to corporate data. Enterprises can identify potential risks before deployment and continuously monitor and protect AI agents once they are in production.

Straiker is rapidly expanding its presence in the Agentic AI security market, gaining recognition for its technology and securing significant investment from global investors.

Through this partnership, Cloocus will combine its experience across enterprise cloud, data, and AI environments—including Microsoft and Databricks platforms and leading AI models such as Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI models—with Straiker’s AI security technology.

Cloocus plans to provide Korean enterprise customers with specialized security services covering the adoption and ongoing operation of AI agents.

The services will include AI agent and asset discovery, analysis of permissions and data access, attack-scenario-based security validation, runtime threat detection and response, and AI governance and compliance consulting. The scope of services will be tailored to each customer’s AI environment and security requirements.

Sreenath Kurupati, Co-Founder & CTO at Straiker, said “Agentic systems fail differently than the software we’ve spent 20 years learning to secure — the risk isn’t just a bad output, it’s an agent with real tool access making a bad decision. Our work with Cloocus means Korean enterprises get that runtime protection from day one, not bolted on after the first incident.”

Steve Hong, CEO of Cloocus, said, “The key to AI competitiveness is not simply how widely AI is adopted, but how securely and reliably it can be operated. As Straiker’s exclusive partner in Korea, Cloocus will bring advanced Agentic AI security technology to Korean enterprises and help customers deploy and operate AI agents securely.”

He added, “Cloocus will continue to expand its collaboration with global AI and security technology companies, including Microsoft, Wiz, Straiker, and Panther. Through these partnerships, we are building an end-to-end cybersecurity portfolio spanning infrastructure, platforms, endpoints, multi-cloud environments, and AI security, while strengthening our ability to support enterprise AI transformation.”
