Over the last year, I’ve spent countless hours with CISOs, CTOs, and security architects talking about a new wave of technology that’s changing the game faster than anything we’ve seen before: Agentic AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. If you think AI is still in the “cool demos and pilot projects” stage, think again. We’re already seeing autonomous agents reasoning, remembering, and taking actions in live production environments.
