BigID, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Rubrik, and Virtue AI among first leaders to partner with Glean to protect against data leaks and malicious acts in the age of enterprise AI agents
Work AI leader Glean today announced its Open Security and Governance Partner Program, embracing an open approach that allows customers to choose from best-of-breed data and AI security models from leading partners including BigID, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Rubrik, and Virtue AI. Additionally, Glean introduced new active data and AI governance capabilities, enhancing enterprise governance controls with continuous scanning and flagging of sensitive data exposure across its ecosystem of 100+ SaaS applications.
As AI agents become more prevalent in the enterprise, LLMs are increasingly integrated into mission-critical workloads and are given access to broad swaths of company knowledge and the ability to take autonomous actions. At the same time, SaaS proliferation and data sprawl have inadvertently resulted in over-shared content, leaving organizations vulnerable to sensitive data leakage. In the age of AI, relying on “security through obscurity” no longer works and fine-grained permissions and retention must be enforced and respected by enterprise AI solutions.
Glean has been at the forefront of enterprise data and AI security and governance since its inception in 2019, embedding permissions-aware governance into the very fabric of its platform. By prioritizing data access controls from the start, Glean ensures that only authorized users can interact with enterprise data, offering organizations the ability to maintain control over how data is used for AI. This approach enables enterprises to confidently scale their AI initiatives without compromising compliance. Glean takes this one step further today with the introduction of:
- Open approach to protecting enterprise data to drive secure, rapid Innovation: With its new Open Security and Governance Partner Program, Glean has partnered with leading data and AI security providers including BigID, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Rubrik, and Virtue AI to bring best-of-breed governance models to the enterprise, while giving customers the choice to use their preferred security models. Through the program, Glean and its partners aim to detect harmful content and prevent prompt injection attacks and malicious code, protecting sensitive enterprise data in the age of agents.
- Active governance for real-time protection against over-shared sensitive content: Glean’s new active data and AI governance implements continuous scanning and remediation of confidential, sensitive data, flagging for admins when data may have incorrect permissions or be overshared. With sensitive data protections across 100+ enterprise applications, enterprises can set unique policies and drill down into violations across all their data to confidently and securely scale AI.
