Radware launches MCP server protection for agentic AI systems

Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR) announced a new security product called Radware Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Protection, designed to help organizations secure MCP servers as AI agents gain broader access to enterprise applications, data, and workflows.

MCP has emerged as a method for connecting AI agents to enterprise systems. According to Stacklok's State of Model Context Protocol in Software 2026 survey, nearly half of software companies reported using MCP in production, with 19% reporting broad production deployment. Radware said traditional web and DDoS security controls may not have been designed to address the attack surface created by MCP servers.

The new product joins Radware's existing Agentic AI Protection and LLM Firewall offerings within its cloud security platform. It is designed to support deployments across public clouds, private clouds, Kubernetes, and hardware-based data centers.

Key capabilities listed by the company include visibility into MCP infrastructure, protection against protocol abuse and authentication attacks, governance tools, agent activity monitoring, and flexible deployment options. The solution is available as a cloud-based service through Radware Cloud Application Protection Service or as a cloud-augmented service for on-premises Alteon and DefensePro platforms.

"MCP is quickly becoming a critical integration layer between AI agents and the enterprise, but every new connection also expands the attack surface," said David Aviv, chief technology officer at Radware. "Organizations need to know which MCP servers they have, what those servers expose, which agents are accessing them and whether those interactions are safe."

Radware is scheduled to host a webinar on the product on December 3, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST. The announcement was made from the company's headquarters in Mahwah, N.J.
