Enkrypt AI Scan: 73% of 25,000 MCP Servers Had Vulnerabilities

Anaconda's Enkrypt AI released an Enterprise Buyer's Guide to Agent Red Teaming, headlined by its scan finding 73% of 25,000 MCP servers had vulnerabilities, arguing agent security must cover the tools and systems agents rely on, not just model outputs.
Key points:
- Nine criteria for evaluating red teaming vendors, distinguishing fixed attack checklists from adaptive testing that forms and iterates on hypotheses
- Regulatory backdrop: EU AI Act obligations with penalties up to 7% of global revenue, a formal NSA advisory on MCP, and the OpenAI-agent Australian Medicare portal breach found 84 days late
- Case study: a customer-facing tax agent misbehaving in three ways with no attacker involved
- Four board-ready risk metrics
Caveat: this is vendor whitepaper content, so the framing serves product sales.
