Model Context Protocol: A Context-Aware Framework for Enhancing Cybersecurity in Dynamic Environments

Abstract

Abstract— The rapid evolution of cyber threats and growing complexity of digital environments require adaptive, intelligent, and context-aware cybersecurity solutions. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as an open standard that facilitates seamless, secure, and dynamic integration between AI-driven security agents and a wide range of data sources, tools, and systems. This paper examines the architecture, security principles, and transformative impact of MCP in strengthening cybersecurity within dynamic environments, with a focus on its context-aware capabilities, interoperability, and practical applications. Keywords— Model Context Protocol, context-aware security, dynamic environments, cybersecurity, threat detection, artificial intelligence, security orchestration, real-time monitoring, adaptive security, interoperability, security automation, incident response.
