On October 28, 2026, Dell President and Chief Security Officer John Scimone offered a judgment at the AI Cybersecurity and Resilience Summit: enterprises should build security and resilience into AI agents at the design stage, and having guardrails in place can actually enable enterprises to take on more risk and act faster. Citing a theCUBE Research survey of 25 enterprise technology and security leaders, he said 19 had deployed autonomous agents in production environments, but none allowed them to perform high-risk operations without human approval, and only 4 had tested agent incident scenarios. Scimone believes the industry is currently too cautious in this direction, and said that although threat actors have used AI for years, the real explosion has yet to come.

Dell President and Chief Security Officer John Scimone said at the AI Cybersecurity and Resilience Summit that enterprises should build security and resilience into AI agents at the design stage, and that having guardrails in place can actually allow enterprises to take on more risk and move faster. A theCUBE Research survey of 25 enterprise technology and security leaders showed that 19 have deployed autonomous agents in production environments, but none allow them to perform high-risk operations without human approval, and only 4 have tested agent incident scenarios. Scimone believes the industry is currently too cautious in this direction, and said that although threat actors have used AI for years, the real explosion has not yet arrived.
