 oud Village | Creator Talk/Panel\n   When: Friday\, Aug 7\, 13:20 - 13:59 
 PDT\n   Where: LVCCW Level 3 W313 (Cloud Village Talks) - [1]Map\n\n   Des
 cription:\n\n   During our extensive research on MCP servers\, we uncovere
 d critical\n   vulnerabilities that pose significant risks to the cloud\n 
   infrastructure management. These vulnerabilities enable malicious\n   ac
 tors to interact with and compromise organizational infrastructure.\n   Al
 armingly\, while some MCP servers had implemented protective measures\n   
 against such misuse\, these measures were often flawed\, allowing for\n   
 trivial bypasses.\n\n   In this presentation\, we will underscore the nece
 ssity of\n   comprehensive visibility and robust policy guidelines for eve
 ry\n   organization. Our analysis of over 19\,000 MCP servers reveals\n   
 substantial gaps and vulnerabilities within the so-called security\n   fea
 tures of these systems. We will demonstrate how these security\n   feature
 s can be bypassed and highlight the real-world implications of\n   these v
 ulnerabilities.\n\n   Through active scanning\, we identified the same vul
 nerable MCP server\n   implementations deployed in the wild\, confirming t
 hat these\n   vulnerabilities are actively exploitable. This underscores t
 he urgent\n   need for organizations to adopt a strategic approach to mana
 ging MCP\n   servers.\n\n   Our aim is for attendees to understand th e cr
 itical importance of AI\n   security beyond mere vulnerability management.
  Our findings show that\n   even if the MCP server is not vulnerable\, def
 ault deployments often\n   introduce significant risks to organizational s
 ecurity. We will\n   conclude our presentation by outlining best practices
  for mitigating\n   the risks associated with MCP servers\, ensuring that 
 attendees leave\n   with actionable insights to enhance their organization
 's security\n   posture.\n\n   Speakers:David Fiser\,Amy McMahon\n\n   Spe
