Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are rapidly becoming the connective tissue between large language models, internal data, and production infrastructure-and they are also quietly expanding the blast radius of every AI deployment.
Using concrete incident-style scenarios and reference architectures, the session will show how these risks map onto classic security domains-identity, secrets management, network segmentation, observability, and supply-chain integrity...
