The latest Model Context Protocol news: foundation governance, near-universal vendor adoption, a maturing spec, and a security track record that already includes critical CVEs.
STRIDE has six categories from 1999. OWASP's LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS's ~84 techniques show why agentic AI needs new threat-modeling columns, not a new framework.
