Securing the Model Context Protocol (MCP): New AI Security Risks in Agentic Workflows

The Model Context Protocol (MCP), introduced in late 2024, is a significant move forward towards transforming the agentic AI revolution by providing a mechanism for them to connect with enterprise tools, APIs, and databases. The protocol presents a standardized way for large language models (LLMs) and business workflows to communicate with business systems, databases, APIs, and even development environments.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in a Multi-Cloud Environment: Consistency and Security Issues

Relevance of the Study Modern organizations are increasingly turning to cloud technologies to improve the flexibility, scalability, and efficiency of their IT infrastructure. One important tool in this process is Infrastructure as Code (IaC), which allows organizations to describe their infrastructure using code, automate the deployment process, reduce the risk of human error, and ensure

Unpack IPTables: Its Inner Workings With Commands and Demos

We all know that the internet works by sending and receiving small chunks of data called packets. Back in the early days, when the internet was still in its infancy, packets were allowed to transfer freely across a connected world, however small that world was. Anyone could send packets to your system, and you could

Policy-as-Code for Terraform in Regulated Environments

Why Does It Matter? When we talk about a regulated workload, we talk about compliance. These compliances are industry standards that govern how data is processed, stored, and managed. That is why these workloads need to be clean and should be assessed based on controls we can prove. Examples of such practices are Least-Privilege access,

Implementing Governance on Databricks Using Unity Catalog

Data governance has historically been the least glamorous part of data engineering. Engineers thrive on building things, designing scalable pipelines, curating high-quality datasets, and enabling machine learning models that deliver real business impact due to business demands. Governance, on the other hand, is often seen as red tape, including permissions, audit logs, compliance checks, and
