AI Agents and MCP: Security Implications
The Model Context Protocol has quietly become the connective tissue of enterprise agentic AI. MCP standardizes how AI agents discover, request, and invoke tools, data sources, and external systems, replacing the custom integration code that used to sit between every agent and every backend. That standardization is what made agents commercially viable at scale. It is also what turned MCP into one of the largest and least-understood attack surfaces in enterprise AI.
