MCP is enabling agentic AI, but how secure is it?

MCP is becoming the plug-and-play standard for agentic AI apps to pull in data in real time from multiple sources. The Pulse MCP server directory currently lists more than 4,300 active MCP servers allowing LLMs to connect with data feeds ranging from Spotify and YouTube, to Salesforce and GitHub. The momentum behind the protocol will likely accelerate adoption as developers coalesce around a common standard, and alternatives struggle to gain traction. However, this also makes…

Backup as a service explained: Your guide to cloud data protection

BaaS supports private, public and hybrid cloud environments. Hybrid cloud, which pairs on-premises infrastructure with cloud-based storage and management, can help enterprises achieve what’s known as the “3-2-1 rule of backup,” a strategy whereby an enterprise keeps three copies of their data —  two in local storage, one offsite. However, hybrid cloud requires more capital and infrastructure investment.  Types of backup methods  Backup isn’t a one-size-fits-all model.

“데이터를 제품처럼”···MIT가 밝힌 데이터 경영의 차별화 포인트

“데이터를 제품처럼”···MIT가 밝힌 데이터 경영의 차별화 포인트

진정한 데이터 제품을 구축하려면 표준화, 계측화, 반복 개선이 필요하다고 윅섬은 표현한다. 그녀는 “하나의 진짜 데이터 자산을 구축하는 데 1~4년이 걸릴 수 있다”라며 “하지만 일단 구축되면 확장성과 조직의 역량을 동시에 확보할 수 있다”라고 말했다. 이러한 방식은 거버넌스 수준도 한층 높인다. 고품질의 ‘유동성 있는’ 데이터 자산은 여러 방식으로 재사용될 수 있으므로, 버전 관리, 카탈로그화, 신뢰성 확보가 반드시 따라야 한다는 것이다. 기술 리더는 무엇부터 시작해야 할까 모든 기업이 정보 기반 기업일 수는 없지만, 그들로부터 배울 수는 있다. 윅섬은…
