Netskope advances the safe use of AI agents with Model Context Protocol (MCP) security across the enterprise

Organisations looking to deploy AI agents increasingly rely on Model Context Protocols (MCPs), which are rapidly becoming the preferred method for connecting AI agents to the enterprise systems and data they need to operate autonomously. MCPs allow agents to request information, execute actions, and coordinate complex tasks in real time.
