## Summary

Dell AI Factory Solutions director Kamlesh Shah says supply chain security starts with vetting suppliers before a product is envisioned and runs across a deployment's full life cycle. Shah says AI agents that take multi-step actions and call tools need narrowly scoped, time-based permissions and runtime telemetry tied to each agent's identity. Dell Services director Ash Lakshmanan says legacy tools cannot observe agent identities or AI workloads across hardware, runtime, data and application layers.
