MCP Server Authentication: OAuth 2.1 vs API Keys
Choosing the right authentication method for your MCP servers is critical. We compare OAuth 2.1 and API keys, examining security, scalability, and when to use each approach.
AI infrastructure security, MCP servers, agent authentication, and governance
Choosing the right authentication method for your MCP servers is critical. We compare OAuth 2.1 and API keys, examining security, scalability, and when to use each approach.
Traditional IAM was designed for human users accessing resources. AI agents, MCP servers, and applications interact differently. Here is why we need a connection-centric approach.
MCP servers are becoming critical infrastructure for AI applications. Learn how to add authentication, authorization, and guardrails to your MCP server deployments.
Praesidia uses two types of controls for AI infrastructure: guardrails (content-level) and policies (operational). Learn when to use each and how they work together.
Multi-agent systems introduce unique security challenges. Learn patterns for agent-to-agent authentication, chain-of-trust delegation, and governance at every hop.
Ungoverned AI usage is growing fast across organizations. Without proper policies and visibility, shadow AI creates compliance risks, data leaks, and security blind spots.
