AI just handed attackers a new front door — and most security teams don't even know it exists. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the emerging standard that lets AI agents talk to your tools, your data, and each other. It's also the most significant new attack surface to emerge in years. The NSA noticed. Your adversaries already have.

The NSA just published a rare advisory on the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—the plumbing under nearly every agentic AI deployment of the last 18 months—and the verdict is stark: optional authentication, no token lifecycle, silent behavior changes, and no logging to catch any of it. Host Tova Dvorin sits down with defensive cybersecurity expert Adrian Culley to unpack the eight risk categories, the WhatsApp and GitHub MCP exploits, and why MCP is now a testable validation surface.

Your vendors are adopting AI faster than you can assess them. What does that mean for your third party risk? Welcome to Razorwire, the podcast where we share our take on the world of cybersecurity with direct, practical advice for professionals and business owners alike. I'm Jim and in this Spotlight on Technology episode, I'm joined by Jeffrey Wheatman, Senior Vice President and Cyber Risk Strategist at Black Kite. Jeffrey previously spent over a decade as an analyst VP at Gartner, where he launched their third party cyber risk management coverage.

In this Feature Focus, Megan Horner, Product Marketing Director at Seemplicity, explores the evolving landscape of vulnerability management in the AI era. As the rise of AI models like Claude Mythos enables attackers to shrink exploit windows, security teams are facing an overwhelming flood of high-priority vulnerabilities.
