Cisco's State of AI Security 2026 report is the first major infrastructure vendor to formally categorize MCP as an enterprise attack surface. Key findings: 83% of organizations plan to deploy agentic AI, but only 29% feel prepared to secure it. Concrete attack examples: WhatsApp chat exfiltration via MCP, RCE via malicious MCP packages (a fake Postmark email integration that BCC'd every sent email to attackers). Cisco recommends treating MCP servers, agent tool registries, and context brokers with the same hardened approach as API gateways or databases.
