The CISO's Guide to Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Security Boulevard, Thursday, October 30th, 2025
As engineering teams race to adopt the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to harness the power of agentic AI, a more cautious conversation dominates security leaders' mindshare. While the potential for innovation is clear, the primary question for CISOs and CIOs is more fundamental: how are we going to manage the growing risk?
The answer is complex because MCP represents more than just a new integration standard. It creates a dynamic and autonomous layer of machine-to-machine communication that significantly expands an organization's attack surface. This brings a new class of threats that traditional security tools, built for predictable human interactions, were simply not designed to tackle.
