Netskope announces security capabilities for MCP communications

Netskope (NTSK) announced security capabilities for Model Context Protocol communications. These enhancements are part of the Netskope One platform, which helps organizations confidently advance agentic AI adoption without compromising on security. As AI adoption grows, MCP has emerged as a preferred method for connecting AI agents to enterprise resources. But because MCP communications are capable of connecting AI systems to enterprise data and facilitating autonomous commands, they also create new security risks, especially with thousands of publicly available MCP servers. With the new platform capabilities, Netskope One can protect MCP-enabled AI interactions by providing full visibility into MCP tool use, enforcing least-privilege access, securing sensitive data, and ensuring compliance.
