The future of AI in the enterprise will be defined by how safely organizations allow their agents to act.

We've been saying for months that MCP servers are the most dangerous unmonitored layer in your agentic infrastructure. This proves it.

The question is no longer whether AI can hack at scale. We now know it can. The question is whether your attack surface is ready.

Your agentic infrastructure is not a single layer. It spans LLMs and agents at the top, MCP servers in the middle, and APIs and downstream systems at the action layer. Each layer connects to the others. Risk flows across all three.

The weakest link in enterprise AI is not necessarily the model itself. It is the middleware connecting the models to your data.

Salt Security's 1H 2026 State of AI and API Security Report shows a new architectural reality has emerged: You cannot secure AI without securing the APIs that power it.
