AI Engineer World's Fair 2026: The Runtime Is Where Agent Trust Is Won | Docker

This post details Docker's perspective on securing AI agents at the runtime level, emphasizing the "lethal trifecta" of risks (private data, untrusted content, ability to act) and how microVM sandboxes address these by providing isolation for filesystem, network, and tools. It also highlights the importance of governing the tool layer (MCP servers) through an org-managed catalog to prevent unvetted installations. The post introduces the concept of "shadow MCP" and demonstrates how Docker AI Governance ties sandbox and MCP policy into a single console.
