AWS and Cisco have partnered to enhance the security of AI agents and their associated protocols, Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A). This collaboration aims to address critical security gaps arising from the rapid adoption of these technologies, including lack of visibility into deployed tools, the inability of manual reviews to keep pace with deployment velocity, and the absence of audit trails for autonomous agents. The integrated solution leverages AWS's AI Registry and Cisco AI Defense to provide automated scanning, unified governance, and supply chain security for MCP servers, A2A agents, and Agent Skills, thereby mitigating risks of data breaches, compliance violations, and operational disruptions.
