# Security in Model Context Protocol: An Analysis of the OWASP MCP Top 10


- **Event:** World Congress 2026 Europe - Virtual Stage

## Description

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that seeks to standardize the way artificial intelligence applications, especially those based on large language models, interact with external data sources and tools.

The session will focus on the emerging risks identified by the OWASP Model Context Protocol (MCP) Top 10 project, an essential guide for developers and architects working on AI model development. We will explore common vulnerabilities, highlighting how configuration flaws in authentication, authorization, and payload validation can compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the models and the environment data.
