FAQs

What is an agentic broker?

An agentic broker is a security solution designed to provide unified visibility and real-time protection for the autonomous AI ecosystem by securing non-human, machine-to-machine AI workflows.

Specifically, the broker is built to decode and secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) traffic. MCP is the standardized protocol that allows AI agents and client applications (such as Cursor and Claude Desktop) to autonomously connect with external tools and data sources. Netskope One Agentic Broker is an example of a modern security solution designed to secure the non-human use cases of agentic AI.

Is my data secure when using AI agents?

When AI agents act autonomously to pursue goals, they connect directly to external tools and internal data sources, often using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or API calls. Without proper oversight, this creates a massive blind spot that can lead to credential leaks, unauthorized data exfiltration, over-permissive access, and "tool poisoning" (where an agent is tricked into using a malicious tool).

To ensure your data remains secure, organizations must deploy solutions designed specifically for non-human traffic, such as the Netskope One Agentic Broker and the Netskope One AI Gateway.

How do I know if agentic AI is in use in my organization?

Many organizations currently do not have a firm grasp of their agentic AI estate, leading to a rapidly growing problem known as "shadow agentic AI". Because traditional security solutions are built for human-to-application traffic (like browsers), they are effectively blind to the autonomous, machine-to-machine communications used by AI agents.

To know if agentic AI is in use in your organization, you must deploy specialized tools that can detect, decode, and monitor non-human traffic; specifically Model Context Protocol (MCP) and API calls.

Netskope provides several mechanisms to discover and track agentic AI usage across your environment including the Netskope One Agentic Broker for applications supporting MCP, and the AI Gateway for API traffic between custom built apps and LLMs.

What is MCP, or Model Context Protocol?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a new industry-standard communication protocol that acts as a universal "plug" between AI agents and the external tools or data they need to achieve their goals. It is essentially the "USB-C" for AI tools. While MCP enables powerful autonomous AI workflows, it also allows AI agents to interact directly and autonomously with sensitive data and tools, bypassing traditional human-centric security perimeters. This creates a massive security blind spot for non-human traffic, which is why organizations require specialized solutions like the Netskope One Agentic Broker to decode, monitor, and secure these MCP communications.

How does an agentic broker protect my sensitive data?

The Netskope One Agentic Broker acts as a proxy to detect and decode MCP traffic, providing deep visibility into session information, tool requests, and responses. To protect data, it integrates seamlessly with Netskope One DLP to apply real-time policies that identify and block sensitive information, such as passwords and intellectual property, from leaking during agentic workflows. It also enforces least-privilege access for AI agents.
