Agentic Index
Straiker vs Zenity (2026)
Both secure agents across a lifecycle and they cover different deployment realities, at 8.5 and 8 of 14. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
Straiker inventories agents, tools and MCP servers with shadow usage detection, runs continuous adversarial testing on every deployment mapped to OWASP, MITRE ATLAS and the EU AI Act, and blocks at runtime in under a second, with a single hook install. Zenity covers observe, govern and defend with depth across Copilot Studio, Agentforce, Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry. Straiker is stronger where your engineers build the agents; Zenity is stronger where your business users do.
On the Agentic Index AI SOC ranking, neither Straiker nor Zenity clears the bar, which asks for all five investigation loop capabilities documented in full. Neither documents human oversight and guardrails in full. 24 of the 94 vendors in the lane clear it. See the AI SOC ranking
This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Straiker and Zenity are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 969 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded
Choose Straiker if
- Documented coverage is slightly broader and your agents are custom built.
- Regulatory mapped adversarial testing on every deployment is your compliance requirement.
- Single hook install means adoption does not require an architecture change.
Choose Zenity if
- Copilot Studio and Agentforce are where your agents actually get built.
- Business users creating agents without oversight is the risk you are addressing.
- Purpose built end to end for agents rather than adapted from AI security generally.
