The Model Context Protocol is transforming how large language models interact with tools, data, and internal systems, but this new integration layer also opens up an attack surface that many teams don't yet understand. In this talk, we'll explain in simple terms how MCP works, what makes it powerful, and why it introduces unique risks that don't exist in traditional APIs.

The session will include a live demonstration of various attacks and their respective mitigations, allowing the audience to see exactly how these vulnerabilities are exploited and how to stop them. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of the MCP ecosystem and a set of concrete strategies for defending their AI-powered agents and workflows.
