AI agents can talk to each other now — they just can't understand what the other one is trying to do. That's the problem Cisco's Outshift is trying to solve with a new architectural approach it calls the Internet of Cognition.The gap is practical: protocols like MCP and A2A let agents exchange messages and identify tools, but they don't share intent or context. Without that, multi-agent systems burn cycles on... Read more ›

Pynt's research showed that deploying just 10 MCP plug-ins creates a 92% probability of exploitation — with meaningful risk even from a single plug-in.The core flaw hasn't changed: MCP shipped without mandatory authentication. Authorization frameworks arrived six months after widespread deployment. As Merritt Baer, chief security... Read more ›
