Agents and MCP Servers Are the electric sheep safe

We have a new AI attack service. MCP servers are everywhere, and they are the new attack surface. Can the MCP server help protect the electric sheep from rogue agents and bad actors, or are they just another way to attack them? Agents are already being used to automate the software development lifecycle (SDLC), but they also introduce new risks. This talk explores the new attack surface created by MCP servers and agentic AI, focusing on potential vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies. We will discuss how agentic AI can enhance the SDLC while also addressing the security risks it introduces. The talk will cover the role of MCP servers in managing these risks and provide strategies for securing them against potential attacks. Attendee Takeaways Answers for the following questions: - What does Agentic AI in the SDLC look like? - What Security risk do Agentic AI bring to the SDLC? - How can MCP servers help with Supply Chain Security? - What are the risks of using MCP servers? - What are strategies to mitigate attacks on MCP servers?
