Secure MCP and Agentic AI Adoption
As organizations adopt agentic AI and begin connecting these systems to internal tools and data through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), security teams face a rapidly evolving set of architectural and operational risks. During this highly interactive session focused on peer learning and practitioner exchange, IANS Faculty George Gerchow shares his insights and facilitates discussions to help attendees compare approaches, evaluate shared challenges and develop practical guardrails for MCP and agentic AI deployments.
