  "account": "Mahwah, New Jersey – Radware, a technology company listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the symbol RDWR, has announced the introduction of MCP Server Protection, a new security solution. This solution is specifically designed to safeguard Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers as businesses continue to deploy AI agents, which have access to critical enterprise applications and data.\n\nThe MCP Server Protection solution offers visibility into MCP infrastructure, providing protection against attacks that are specific to the MCP protocol. It also establishes governance structures for MCP deployments, as outlined in a company press release.\n\nMCP has been gaining traction as a standard protocol for linking AI agents with enterprise applications, data, and workflows. According to a survey conducted by Stacklok, titled the State of Model Context Protocol in Software 2026, nearly half of the software companies surveyed reported using MCP in their production environments. An even smaller 19% of companies reported having a broad deployment across their production systems.\n\nRadware’s MCP Server Protection is an integral part of the company's cloud security platform. It joins Radware’s existing offerings in the space, namely Agentic AI Protection and LLM Firewall. The new product is compatible with MCP servers deployed across various environments, including public and private clouds, Kubernetes, and hardware-based data centers.\n\nDavid Aviv, Radware's Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the growing importance of MCP as a connection layer between AI agents and the enterprise. He noted that every new connection expands the attack surface, making solutions like MCP Server Protection increasingly vital.\n\nThe solution's capabilities include comprehensive visibility into MCP infrastructure, covering deployed servers, exposed tools, resources, and agent activity. It also offers several security controls to protect against various threats, such as protocol abuse, authentication attacks, tool and resource enumeration, unauthorized MCP interactions, and denial-of-service attacks. Additional features include governance tools to assess MCP exposure and identify security weaknesses, as well as monitoring for agent activity to analyze identities, tool invocation patterns, and behavioral anomalies.\n\nRadware MCP Server Protection is currently accessible as a cloud-based service through Radware Cloud Application Protection Service, as well as a cloud-augmented service for on-premises Alteon and DefensePro platforms. The company has also announced a webinar on the solution, which will take place on December 3, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST.",
