Securing The AI Agent Supply Chain With Cisco's Open-Source MCP Scanner
Cisco, Thursday, October 23rd, 2025
As enterprises integrate AI agents into their technology stacks, these agents increasingly rely on external tools and services to navigate complex technology environments.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI models to access external functionalities, tools, resources, and prompts without custom API integrations. At Cisco, we recognize that MCP adoption and utilization brings new and complex risks: security remains the foundation for responsible and safe technology deployment. Six months ago, we introduced Cisco AI Defense-a comprehensive solution designed to address security challenges across the AI lifecycle.
