MCP Security

Discover, assess, and control every MCP server across all employee endpoints and your enterprise infrastructure.

Model Context Protocols: The New Trust Boundary for Agentic AI

MCP servers provide agents with access to enterprise applications, files, databases, APIs, and external services, enabling them to take autonomous action across your environment.

Pre-AI era security tools are blind to MCP connections, tool permissions, and runtime interactions.

AI agents trust MCP servers by design. Often installed by a developer in seconds, there is no security review, inventory, or owner. MCP gateways are selectively blind, focusing on network traffic without visibility into endpoint execution and agent behavior.
Threats
Context poisoning
Hidden malicious instructions manipulating agents.
Data exfiltration
Sensitive data and credentials exposed
Excessive permissions
More access than users intended.
Supply chain risk
Unverified, compromised or malicious MCPs.
Security Challenges
No visibility
Which MCPs are running, where and how
Shadow MCP
Unsanctioned MCPs that security never approved.
Network exposure
New attack paths for lateral movement.
AI policies on paper
Governance that never leaves the slide deck

Secure Every MCP Across Your Agentic Fabric with Backslash

Backslash secures every MCP server across employee endpoints, including local, private, and remote MCPs. Continuously discover MCP connections in use, assess their risk posture, enforce security policies, and block malicious actions in real-time.

Discover

Complete Visibility into Connected MCPs

Discover every MCP server installed or connected across your endpoints fleet, including personal and unsanctioned MCPs, the agents using them, and the tools and permissions they expose.
Assess

Continuous MCP Risk Analysis

Continuously assess MCP servers for vulnerabilities, malicious behavior, excessive permissions, configuration risks, and supply chain issues to identify and remediate risk before it impacts your environment.
Govern

Enforce MCP Guardrails at Scale

Define and enforce security policies that govern which MCP servers can be used, how they're configured, and what access they're allowed across employee endpoints.
Protect

Real-Time MCP Protection

Block risky MCP behavior. Backslash’s MCP proxy sees and inspects communication between AI agents and MCP servers on the endpoint, blocking malicious instructions, risky tool calls, and policy violations that network gateways cannot see.
Investigate

Forensic-ready Audit Trail

Reconstruct the kill chain. Capture full tracing of agent prompts, processes and actions, giving security teams a complete audit trail to support forensic investigation, incident response, and compliance.
Backslash gives us full visibility and governance over our evolving AI coding ecosystem, helps us triage what actually matters, and never gets in the way of velocity.

Turn the lights on
Move from "we think our developers are using DeepSeek" to a live map of every AI tool, model, MCP, and integration in use.
Eliminate Shadow AI
Policy enforcement moves from a document that developers ignore to a centralized control layer. Shadow AI drops to zero for governed tooling.
AI audit-ready
For EU AI Act, NIS2, DORA, and SOC 2 obligations, Backslash generates the evidence of AI governance controls and events tracing automatically.
Be the Dept. of YES
Developers and workforce users adopt AI tools freely, enabled with guardrails — achieving significant efficiency gains without the exposure.

65,000+ MCP Servers Assessed (and Counting). Is Yours Safe?

Discover MCP vulnerabilities and risks

Common questions about agentic endpoint security

Why do MCP servers create security risks?

An MCP server defines what an AI agent can access and do. A compromised, malicious, or misconfigured MCP can expose sensitive data, execute unauthorized actions, or become an attack path into enterprise systems.

Does Backslash discover private and custom MCP servers?

Yes. Backslash discovers public, private, locally developed, remote, and internally hosted MCP servers running across employee endpoints.

How is Backslash different from an MCP Gateway?

MCP gateways primarily inspect network traffic. Backslash operates on the endpoint, where it can see which agent invoked an MCP, which tools were used, what permissions were granted, and whether behavior violates security policy.

Can Backslash block malicious MCP activity?

Yes. Backslash's endpoint MCP proxy inspects communication between AI agents and MCP servers in real time, blocking malicious instructions, risky tool calls, excessive permissions, and policy violations.

How does Backslash assess MCP risk?

Backslash evaluates MCP servers for vulnerabilities, excessive permissions, supply chain risks, insecure configurations, network exposure, and malicious behaviors.

Does Backslash support internally developed MCP servers?

Yes. Organizations can continuously assess internally built MCP servers using the same security analysis applied to public MCPs.
