The new standard for connecting AI to data is very useful and very risky. Plus: how Mizo, Theo, and PartnerGPT are bringing AI to MSPs and Sophos’s latest Secureworks integration.
I was just talking to an AI security vendor today and I brought up the concern about MCP servers. I don’t know that most people are thinking about MCP security but I bet it will become an issue soon.
I hope people start paying more attention to it. I was just interviewing the co-founder of a backup vendor that has an MCP interface, and he basically said we offer all the controls you need to use it safely—if you choose to. The whole problem, though, is that if you don’t enforce security by default people won’t know they’re at risk, won’t know how to protect themselves, or won’t bother to deal with it.
