Cyber Security Protection

The AI industry is an absolute mess. The technologies necessary for its operation are siloed and opaque to customers without the technical skills to understand them. The chaos of model context protocol (MCP) adoption is a case in point. Anthropic’s created MCP and released last November). The companies chatbot, Claude, said the protocol “bridges the gap between AI models and the external world.” More simply, it is an AI application integrator. MCP servers are supposed to do this securely without giving access to sensitive areas of a user’s computer or network. Multiple reports from security researchers say it fails miserably in that effort. That makes current agentic AI technology development dangerous. Undaunted, corporate momentum and boardroom ignorance is driving it forward. The post AI chaos creates MCP hole appeared first on Cyber Protection Magazine.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with bots. In fact, when they’re used well, they’re one of the most powerful tools in a business’s digital toolkit — streamlining repetitive tasks, freeing up human time, and delivering consistent results. The issue isn’t the bots themselves. It’s how carelessly we’ve started deploying them. The post Why Automation Should Be Built with Intent appeared first on Cyber Protection Magazine.

The current market conception of agents as LLMs with function calling represents a fundamental mischaracterization of true autonomous systems. 25% of companies that use GenAI will launch agentic AI pilots or proofs of concept in 2025, yet over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027 due to escalating costs, unclear business value, or inadequate risk controls.

“Agentic AI” is the newest thing in AI. It promises systems that can talk to people and things around them, plan, and learn. But the truth is more complicated than what all the ads say. We’re creating a world where the line between human and artificial interaction quickly disappears.

We’re living through the biggest shift the internet has seen since its creation. It’s not just that bots exist online now. It’s that they’re on track to become the majority. And we’re running out of reliable ways to tell who’s real. The post The Authentication Crisis appeared first on Cyber Protection Magazine.

Peter Horadan, CEO of Vouched VCs have informally coined “agentic” as the buzzword of 2025, for good reason.  Agentic… The post The Good, The Bad, and the Annoying appeared first on Cyber Protection Magazine.

The current conversation around agentic AI has been focused on autonomy and decision-making. But the potential impact of agentic AI is bigger than that. Since agents have the ability to plan their own actions, use enterprise tools, interpret environmental cues, and refine their behavior based on feedback, they pose exponential risks that users need to consider.
