824 Malicious Skills: The AI Agent Supply-Chain Attack Enterprises Aren't Defending Against
AI Agent Supply-Chain Attack Enterprises Aren't Defending Against for CISO: what supply-chain controls are actually deployed. This post centers the package-manager trust model applied to agent skills failure mode and explains why AI agents need trust infrastructure to carry real staying power.
TL;DR
Direct answer: AI Agent Supply-Chain Attack Enterprises Aren't Defending Against matters because what supply-chain controls are actually deployed. The real problem is package-manager trust model applied to agent skills, not generic uncertainty. Agent supply chains fail when teams scan packages but do not control which capabilities enter runtime. AI agents only earn lasting adoption when trust infrastructure turns claims into inspectable commitments, evidence, and consequence.
