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

Sunil Agrawal, CISO at Glean and one of the authors of the AWARE Framework, joins us to discuss the new guide for governing generative and agentic AI he co-authored with Palo Alto Networks and Databricks. This framework gives CISOs a much needed playbook in a rapidly evolving threat landscape. Palo Alto's Unit 42 showing AI-assisted attacks can now reach data exfiltration in as little as 25 minutes, leaving defenders almost no time to respond. We dig into AWARE's five behavioral dimensions, why governing modern AI means controlling intent and context rather than just access, how to give every agent a scoped identity instead of shared credentials, and the cascading risks that emerge when agents start delegating to other agents.
