AI agents aren’t just talking, they’re taking actions. They’re booking transactions, pulling sensitive data, and chaining tools together to get work done. As enterprises embrace these agents, protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) are enabling powerful new capabilities, but also creating invisible ecosystems of API-driven agent activity that traditional security tools can’t see or control.
In this session, we’ll walk through the newest Salt platform updates, including MCP Protect for complete visibility into Model Context Protocol traffic and out-of-the-box agentic AI policies enabled by default. You’ll learn how to identify blind spots, strengthen governance, and reduce risk, starting from first login.
