DataDome, a leader in AI cyberfraud protection, has announced a first-of-its-kind capability to secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) server infrastructure. As enterprises rapidly deploy MCP servers to power new AI agent experiences, they create a new, unsecured attack surface. DataDome's new integration module provides instant visibility and security for these interactions, allowing businesses to build agentic customer experiences on a foundation of trust.
DataDome launches the first solution to secure MCP server infrastructure.
MCP servers connect user AI agents to business data but lack built-in security.
Over 16,000 MCP servers have been deployed by Fortune 500 companies this year.
The solution offers real-time visibility into AI agent traffic and intent.
It provides autopilot protection to block malicious agents at the edge.
Customers can integrate it easily via a standard server-side module.
The announcement addresses a pressing market need. With 36% of U.S. consumers interested in using AI agents for online transactions, businesses are racing to deploy MCP servers, which act as the switchboard connecting AI agents to business applications. However, the protocol was not designed with security in mind, and each new server creates a potential vulnerability. This poses a significant business risk for companies seeking to capitalize on the growth of agentic commerce.
DataDome's solution helps enterprises secure this new attack surface through three core capabilities. It provides real-time visibility into agentic traffic, offering nuanced insight into the identity and intent of AI agents. It delivers autopilot protection, automatically blocking malicious agentic threats at the edge before they can reach and exhaust MCP server resources. Finally, it establishes continuous agentic AI trust relationships by verifying the identity, intent, and behavior for every interaction, giving businesses the confidence to scale agentic commerce safely.
DataDome's CEO emphasized the business-critical nature of this new protection. “Enterprises want the growth agentic AI offers, but not at the expense of unknown business risk,” said Benjamin Fabre, co-founder and CEO at DataDome. “They need fast, simple protections for this new attack surface and a way to establish trust on every agentic interaction with these MCP servers.” He added, “Securing MCP servers is now a business-critical requirement for safe, scalable AI growth. With DataDome, we invite our customers to innovate with agentic AI while we safeguard their infrastructure, data, and customer experiences.”
The solution is available now, with customers able to integrate it using a standard MCP-enabled server-side module for Node.js and AWS CloudFront’s Lambda@Edge, ensuring fast onboarding and rapid time-to-value for this essential security layer.
