MCP Security Engineering: Defense-in-Depth, AST Sanitization & Sandbox Isolation
Answer-first: Securing enterprise MCP deployments requires an uncompromising defense-in-depth model that replaces naive regex filtering with AST parameter sanitization, kernel-isolated sandboxing via gVisor, and real-time DLP tokenization. Implementing continuous behavioral authorization and egress network policies neutralizes indirect prompt injection, tool poisoning, and SSRF attacks, guaranteeing that untrusted model completions cannot execute arbitrary code or exfiltrate sensitive corporate data. ← Part 4: MCP Gateway Architecture | Next Chapter: Part 6: Observability & Audit Trail → ...
