Securing the Agentic AI action layer: protecting the APIs, MCP servers, and agents powering modern digital business.

Palo Alto, CA
Something exciting is coming your way  👀🧂 Introducing Seasoned by Salt, where we sit down with security leaders, CISOs, CTOs, and builders to talk about the conversations shaping cybersecurity right now. From agentic AI risk and MCP servers to APIs and the ever-expanding attack surface, we’re going beyond surface-level takes and getting into what security teams actually need to know. Fresh episodes are coming soon. Stay tuned for where to listen, and get ready to get Seasoned by Salt 🎙️ → seasonedbysalt.com/2632033?u…

New from Salt Labs, covered exclusively by @DarkReading: our researchers turned the agentic AI platform Manus into remote code execution with a single email, reaching the victim's connected Gmail, Drive, and GitHub. The detail every security leader should sit with: Manus's own security check caught the attack, but only after the code had already run. Detection worked. The breach happened anyway. That's the hard truth about autonomous systems. When an agent acts on its own, there's no human between the alert and the consequence, and a control that fires a step too late is a control that didn't fire. Guardrails matter, but they are not enough on their own. Full story here: darkreading.com/application-…

This week, Salt Security extended our Agentic Security Platform with native AI Detection and Response (AI-DR) 🧂 Salt now connects threats at the LLM layer, including prompt injection and jailbreak attempts, to what happens next across agents, MCP servers, tools, and downstream APIs. One platform, one connected view of the attack path, from prompt to business impact. Learn more → salt.security/blog/ai-securi… Register for the webinar → events.salt.security/securin…

Join our upcoming webinar “Securing Your AI Agents: Native AI Detection and Response Across the Full Agentic Path” to explore what it takes to protect agents across the models, MCP servers, tools, and APIs they rely on. See the full agentic path, detect attacks across it, and protect what your AI agents actually do. Register now → events.salt.security/securin… #AgenticSecurity #AIsecurity #APIsecurity #AIAgents

Today we're taking a step that's been in the making for years. When we think about how an attack actually unfolds in an agentic environment, the threat doesn't stay in one place. It starts with a malicious prompt, moves through an MCP server, and lands on the APIs running your business systems. A billing agent gets probed. A refund API gets hit directly. What looked like a model problem becomes a payment system problem. Our new native AI Detection and Response capabilities inside Salt AG-DR are built around that reality. For the first time, security teams can see the full chain: the prompt injection, the MCP interaction, the downstream API attack, all connected in one platform.

“The simplest way to understand an agentic system is to think of it as a digital employee. The model is the brain. It reasons, decides and responds. Model Context Protocol servers and the tools connected to them are the hands. They give the agent capabilities it would not otherwise have. APIs are how those hands reach the systems that run the business.” Our CEO writes in @TheAIJournal1 about why this shift changes the security model, and why protecting AI means securing the actions agents take across APIs, tools, and enterprise systems.

AI agents can authenticate legitimately and still access sensitive data, call the wrong tools, or take actions outside their intended role. That’s the security gap traditional controls can miss. Check out how Salt Security is helping organizations secure what AI agents do after authentication, including bringing agentic AI and API protection directly into AWS WAF → saastake.com/salt-security-a…

AI agents do not operate like traditional AI. As agentic AI moves deeper into the enterprise, security teams need to rethink how they protect autonomous AI agents across reasoning, memory, APIs, MCP servers, tools, and every action they take. Our latest blog breaks down the role of agentic AI in cybersecurity, including emerging AI security risks, prompt injection, excessive permissions, API security, AI governance, and the controls organizations need to secure the Agentic Action Layer.

A new MCP supply chain campaign (Deadbugz) is actively targeting AI agent infrastructure via GitHub pull requests right now. What makes it different from everything we've seen before is that the malicious payload doesn't appear on first use. After exactly three normal tool calls, the server rewrites its metadata into instructions telling the AI agent to hunt for SSH keys, AWS credentials, shell history, and Kubernetes configs (all while concealing that activity from the user). more info here: adversa.ai/blog/top-mcp-secu…
