How to Prevent Command Injection and SQL Injection Attacks over MCP
Akamai Technologies, Wednesday, October 15th, 2025
Agentic AI systems rely on fast and reliable communication channels to more natively coordinate and execute tasks among different agents, apps, and services. Efficient communication with external tools is a core tenet of any AI technology, which is what led to the now standard Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Now that agentic AI is becoming a part of real products and business workflows, MCP is drawing global interest, especially across the tech industry.
With any new technology, experimentation on both the malignant and benign side is abundant. New ways for applications to interact with AI agents are exciting to uncover, even if organizations are still in the infancy stages of their journey.
Security controls and frameworks for this new agentic protocol are still immature. As a result, rushing to adopt MCP without careful planning puts security at risk.
