Hard Code vs. Soft Code: Securing the Agentic Era

April 22, 2026

Techstrong Group’s Alan Shimel sits down with Kubernetes co-founder and Stacklok CEO Craig McLuckie alongside SUSE’s GM of Engineering Rick Spencer live from SUSECON 26 to unpack the reality of the agentic AI revolution. As AI agents rapidly gain the ability to debug errors, generate code on the fly, and directly access enterprise APIs, the trio explores the critical need for a Model Context Protocol (MCP) to safely govern this newly defined “soft code.” McLuckie and Spencer emphasize that while autonomous infrastructure promises unprecedented self-healing capabilities, organizations must urgently establish secure, verified registries to contain and control these increasingly powerful agents before they run rampant in production environments.
