The first cybersecurity MCP server just shipped. Wolfgang Goerlich, IANS faculty member and public sector CISO, joins Alan Shimel on how IANS now drops peer research straight into your prompt. Furthermore, Wolfgang unpacks whether AI is dulling security teams or quietly sharpening the pros who use it well.

About Wolfgang Goerlich

Wolfgang came up with Alan in the golden age of security. Consequently, he brings decades of CISO experience across healthcare, financial services, tech and public sector work.

Inside the first cybersecurity MCP server

IANS is the practitioner-led research network for CISOs. As a result, its new server pulls that research into Claude while you draft a policy or standard. Meanwhile, Wolfgang refreshed one of his own runbooks in minutes rather than weeks.

In addition, the server serves IANS clients and faculty. Therefore, it returns real quotes, insights and polls to the prompt so security teams act on what their peers actually did, whether they are shaping a runbook, a policy or a fresh standard for the year ahead.

Why the cybersecurity MCP server matters now

Meanwhile, new studies show AI power users sharpen their thinking by interrogating outputs instead of accepting them. Consequently, the gap between passive and active AI users keeps widening across security teams every quarter, and the leaders are already pulling ahead.
