Session Description
Your developers are installing MCP servers faster than security can review them. An unvetted server is a direct line to your data. This talk shows how the Docker MCP Gateway puts every server and tool behind one org-managed catalog: vetted, signed, default-deny on anything unapproved, governed by the same policy engine as network and filesystem. Walk away with a hands-on demo: stand up a catalog, block an unvetted server, and watch policy enforce at the runtime.
