Governing AI Agents Means Governing Intent: The AWARE Framework with Sunil Agrawal, CISO of Glean

Sunil Agrawal · CISO at Glean

--:--

We sit down with Sunil Agrawal, CISO at Glean and co-author of the AWARE Framework, to dig into a new governance guide for generative and agentic AI built with Palo Alto Networks and Databricks. We get into AWARE's five behavioral dimensions, why governing agents means controlling intent and context rather than just access, and how scoped identities beat shared credentials once agents start delegating work to other agents. Sunil also walks through Unit 42 research showing AI-assisted attacks can reach data exfiltration in as little as 25 minutes.
