RapidFort today at the Black Hat USA conference announced it has extended its ability to secure open source software to the runtimes that DevOps teams deploy in production environments. Michael Wood, chief marketing officer for RapidFort, said the RapidFort Runtime platform makes it possible to now monitor open source software deployed within a container image to detect unauthorized or unexpected changes, and proactively assess the impact any report of a newly discovered Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) might have. The overall goal is to make it simpler for DevOps teams to run the curated open source software packages that RapidFort already provides in their production environments, adds Wood. At the core of RapidFort Runtime is a Runtime Bill of Materials (RBOM) capability that integrates with pipelines in continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) platforms and uses application programming interfaces (APIs) and instrumentation to map system calls, network and m...
Many MCP projects begin with an existing API and a simple request: expose one backend capability to an LLM client. The quickest route is to wrap an endpoint as a tool and connect it to Claude or another MCP host. Users can then ask for data in natural language instead of navigating a fixed interface. This creates a production boundary because the model, rather than application code, chooses which operation to call.

With MCP, a user can ask, “Find SaaS companies in Germany with 50-200 employees,” and receive structured records in the conversation. The wrapper was straightforward in TypeScript and Go, but defining the model’s authority required more work. What Changes With MCP Governance? Existing API controls still apply, but they no longer cover the full decision path. A chang...
