## Summary

Dell Technologies president and chief security officer John Scimone says enterprises should design security and resilience into AI agents at the start, arguing that guardrails let companies give agents more autonomy. A survey of 25 enterprise technology and security leaders found 19 had autonomous agents in production, but none let those agents perform high-risk actions without human approval. Scimone says Dell gives every agent tight identity and access control, plus logging and traceability of decisions and actions.
