AI agent security startup Onyx Security Inc. has announced a new integration with enterprise artificial intelligence platform company Glean Technologies Inc. This collaboration aims to assist enterprises in governing the AI agents that they develop and manage on the Glean platform.
Both Onyx and Glean are targeting organizations that are rapidly deploying autonomous, interconnected agents throughout their operations. However, Onyx indicates that many of these companies are not adequately prepared to address the associated risks that come with such agent implementations.
Onyx emphasizes the necessity for security teams to continuously monitor agent access, actions, and compliance with established policies. Under this partnership, Glean supplies the platform for building, deploying, and operating AI agents, while Onyx provides a secure AI control plane that enhances governance and security throughout the AI ecosystem.
Central to this integration is the discovery process, wherein Onyx can inventory all Glean agents along with their access privileges and capabilities. Each agent can then be assigned ownership, a designated business purpose, and a risk classification, according to both companies.
This integration also allows for the implementation of enterprise AI governance and compliance policies. Onyx continuously monitors any changes to the permissions, tools, and access rights allocated to each agent. By employing intent-aware runtime controls, Onyx ensures that agents’ prompts, responses, and actions are safeguarded in real-time. These controls can outright block unsafe requests, while also realigning any unintended agent behaviors to comply with company policies. A centralized audit trail is maintained across AI environments, facilitating governance from deployment through ongoing operation and scaling.
“As agents gain greater access and autonomy, security teams need visibility and control over their capabilities,” stated Gil Elbaz, co-founder and chief AI officer at Onyx, who previously held a position under Nvidia Corp.’s chief technology officer. “By amalgamating Glean’s enterprise context with Onyx’s security control plane, customers can manage agent activities consistently and with confidence throughout their AI environment.”
Glean views context and governance as essential for ensuring that enterprise AI is both effective and trustworthy. This perspective is echoed by Zubin Irani, the company’s vice president of partnerships, who noted that the Onyx integration builds upon this foundational principle as organizations increasingly deploy agents across various facets of their business.
To date, Onyx has secured $153 million in funding, which includes a $113 million Series B round led by Bessemer Venture Partners in July. The company initially launched in March, raising $40 million in seed and Series A funding.
On the other hand, Glean recently raised $150 million in a Series F round, attaining a valuation of $7.2 billion in June 2025.
Irani discussed with theCUBE, the livestreaming studio by SiliconANGLE Media, in June how Glean’s AI platform utilizes enterprise data to enhance models and agents:
