Explore the security implications of MCP servers and agentic AI in this 22-minute conference talk that examines the emerging attack surfaces created by AI agents in software development. Discover how agentic AI is transforming the software development lifecycle (SDLC) while simultaneously introducing new security vulnerabilities and risks. Learn about the dual nature of MCP servers as both protective mechanisms and potential attack vectors in the context of supply chain security. Understand the specific security challenges that arise when AI agents automate development processes and how malicious actors might exploit these systems. Gain insights into practical mitigation strategies for securing MCP servers against potential attacks and protecting against rogue agents. The presentation addresses critical questions about implementing agentic AI safely in development environments, identifying security risks inherent in AI-driven SDLC processes, leveraging MCP servers for supply chain protection, recognizing vulnerabilities in MCP server implementations, and developing comprehensive defense strategies against emerging AI-based attack vectors.
