Tyler's Talk
As AI adoption accelerates across enterprises, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming the standard for how LLM systems interact with external tools and resources—but with this innovation comes significant security challenges for SOC managers and security professionals. This session takes a practical look at how this emerging standard operates and gives actionable intelligence on potential security blindspots in your organization's defences. We'll examine real-world attack scenarios where familiar threats find new pathways through MCP implementations, from credential harvesting and arbitrary code execution to the more insidious "rug pull" attacks and context poisoning unique to this protocol. You will walk away knowing more about the threats your company faces and how you can build an actionable security strategy for defending your organization.

Learn to build AI applications with enhanced security, implementing best practices for secure and responsible AI development. In this session, Gavin will walk through the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model (LLM) applications — and cover the most critical security risks associated with AI systems. As the author of two of the OWASP top 10, he’ll share lessons from his work in penetration testing, practical ways these risks show up in real-world environments, and strategies to mitigate them.
