AINetskope AI Report: 2026
The 2026 threat landscape has moved beyond shadow AI discovery into a phase of bidirectional, agentic risk. We are no longer just monitoring the prompts employees send to third-party models; we are now governing the integrity of the AI-driven supply chain. The rapid integration of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) effectively bridges our internal data stores with external agents, while the surge in autonomous coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code has drastically lowered the barrier for automated, malicious code execution. For security teams, this mandates a pivot from simple data to bidirectional inspection. We need to treat every agentic interaction as a potential execution vector, not just a data request.
