MCP for the SOC: Connecting AI Assistants to Threat Intel Without Getting Owned
Info
Summary
The article discusses the rise of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a new standard for AI assistants to interact with external tools in a SOC environment. The article stresses that because AI assistants are trained on attacker-authored text, they can be manipulated to exfiltrate data or perform harmful actions. Several mitigations are proposed, including strict controls on tool access, clear delimitation of third-party content, and a strong emphasis on human review and approval for any action that changes state or notifies people.
