MCP without governance is attack surface.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is how AI agents talk to tools and data. It’s adopted faster than the governance to handle it. Industry research puts the exploit rate on unmanaged MCP at 92%, with 33% of servers having critical vulnerabilities. By 2027, Gartner expects 40% of enterprise MCP deployments to be hit by security incidents.
Most teams already have shadow MCP somewhere. The CIO just hasn’t found it yet.
