Applied AIWhy 'never trust, always verify - repeatably' security strategy for AI Agents, starts after login

If AI capex is in a mid‑cycle boom with bottlenecks shifting, the constraint for operators moves from “can I get GPUs?” to “can I underwrite power, data, and demand risk over a 3–5 year horizon?”.
