• •Akto joins the Cloud Security Alliance to improve AI security standards.
• •79% of organizations using AI agents lack visibility into their actions.
• •The rapid adoption of MCP increases the attack surface for enterprises.

On May 27, 2026, Akto announced its membership in the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) as an AI Corporate Member, aiming to enhance security standards for autonomous AI agents. CEO Ankita Gupta highlighted the urgent need for security controls as 79% of organizations deploying AI agents lack visibility into their operations. The rapid adoption of Model Context Protocol (MCP) has increased the attack surface, exposing enterprises to new risks. Akto's involvement in the CSA will focus on creating benchmarks and guidance for securing AI deployments. The membership comes at a critical time when enterprises are integrating AI agents into their operations without adequate oversight. Gupta emphasized the importance of implementing controls before incidents occur, rather than reactively addressing them.
