What Is Prompt Injection? AI Security in the Age of Agentic AI and MCP
As AI systems move from answering questions to taking actions, they become software that can be attacked. Prompt injection, now ranked the number-one risk to AI applications, is the central threat, and agentic AI and the Model Context Protocol expand the attack surface. Here is what it means, and how to defend against it.
