Why it matters

AI supply-chain dependencies can expose agents with access to business data and services to untrusted components and inputs, making dependency scrutiny and runtime monitoring important defensive controls.

ESET’s “The hidden dependencies of AI adoption” examines how models, copilots, agent frameworks, and third-party skills expand enterprise supply-chain risk. The analysis recommends governing agent access, screening dependencies, and monitoring behavior, noting that on-premises deployment does not eliminate prompt injection or malicious-component risks.
