MCP Security

Discover how to mitigate security gaps in MCP ecosystems.

Our LiveCast on MCP security explores key vulnerabilities and how both publishers and consumers should respond. Watch the recording below.

Agentic AI is giving rise to brand-new AI-to-API communication formats. This movement is largely led by the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source “USB-C standard” protocol for agent communication. However, MCP is new and largely untested in the enterprise. Its mounting security implications warrant a hypervigilant response.

In this hour-long LiveCast, we’ll bring together API and MCP experts with experience at leading cloud-native gateway and identity systems to address the growing threats facing MCP-based ecosystems and the mitigations implementers need to consider to ensure safety when working in MCP-powered setups.

We’ll plan to:

• Set the stage regarding MCP and its impact
• Cover emerging vulnerabilities and risks from both the publisher and consumer perspectives
• Dig into the risks facing API providers
• Explore security responses: scanners, the MCP Authorization Specification, and other best practices
• Look at the role of AI gateways
• Explain how token-based architecture, least privilege, and IAM help limit threat vectors
• Consider future threats and what’s coming down the line

The LiveCast will feature Christian Posta, Field CTO at Solo.io, Kevin Swiber, API strategist at Layered System, Gary Archer, identity specialist and Product Marketing Engineer at Curity, and Bill Doerrfeld, tech journalist and Editor-in-Chief at Nordic APIs. Bill Doerrfeld will also moderate the discussion and audience Q&A. The panel discussion will be recorded over Zoom and published to YouTube shortly after the event.
