PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 25, 2026--
Enterprises shouldn't have to choose between searching their data and protecting it. Today, Skyflow, the runtime data control platform for agentic AI, announced Skyflow for Glean: a data security and governance layer for enterprise context. Enterprise context is the millions of documents and billions of records spread across systems that were never built to work together. Skyflow already protects billions of sensitive records for Fortune 500 companies. This launch extends that protection to the knowledge that powers enterprise AI search, starting with Glean deployments.

Securing Enterprise Context in Production
Kearney, a global management consulting firm, ran into this challenge directly. Rolling out Glean across thousands of consultants meant connecting terabytes of client work, all carrying strict confidentiality commitments to each client. Skyflow governs that context so consultants see only the engagements they're authorized for, with a full audit trail.
"We don't want to be in the data sanitization business," said Mark Johnson, Partner and Chief Information and Digital Officer at Kearney. "Skyflow gave us per-field encryption, runtime policies, and customer-specific isolation as a platform – not a project."
Extending Governance to the Context Layer
AI agents don't work from one fixed dataset. They assemble context on demand from CRMs, SaaS apps, data lakes, and wikis — so the real question is no longer who can access a system, but what data an agent is allowed to see. The usual fix is to block the riskiest content, but blocking degrades search: identifiers stop matching across documents, and employees end up searching a fraction of what the company knows.
Enterprise search platforms like Glean enforce permissions-aware access, ensuring employees and agents retrieve only the documents they're authorized to see. Skyflow adds a complementary layer of fine-grained control at the data field level — valuable because AI search turns raw documents into generated answers, summaries, and agent reasoning steps that can carry sensitive values. Skyflow for Glean works at two points:
"Every search and every agent action touches your most sensitive records," said Anshu Sharma, co-founder and CEO of Skyflow. "Protecting that moment matters as much as protecting the storage behind it. Security and legal teams can move from blocking access to unblocking secure access — and that's what makes AI search safe to turn on."
What This Means for Enterprise AI
With governance satisfied at the data layer, pilots become firmwide deployments. Employees search the complete knowledge base, one client's information never surfaces in another's results, and sensitive data stays out of answers and summaries that shouldn't include it. Data stays in the region for GDPR, DPDP, and HIPAA, and every access is recorded.

Secure AI Search from Ingestion to Retrieval
VENICE, Italy (AP) — “Woman Unknown,” a drama about Denmark in the aftermath of the Nazi occupation directed by May el-Toukhy, won the prestigious Golden Lion at the 83rd Venice Film Festival on Saturday.
The Maggie Gyllenhaal -led jury announced the winners, which included a best actor prize for John Malkovich for his performance in the dark CIA comedy “Wild Horse Nine.”
Malkovich was not in attendance at the ceremony, but he sent a video message, explaining that he is shooting in Montreal.
“I am humbled to be chosen for this award which has been given to so many wonderful actors,” Malkovich said.
El-Toukhy, who was the only woman to have solely directed a film in the main competition this year, is only the eighth woman to have won the festival's top prize.
“To me personally, ‘Woman Unknown’ is about the female body as a battleground,” el-Toukhy said. “At the same time the film tells the tale of women who are unseen, invisible and voiceless.”
She thanked Gyllenhaal for using her voice to shine a light on unequal opportunities for women in moviemaking.
The film is centered on a young nanny and housemaid who is about to marry her wealthy employer in the immediate aftermath of the war. But she harbors a secret past intimate relationship with a German soldier that threatens to upend her reputation. The lead, Mathilde Arcel, won the festival's best actress prize.
Arcel was visibly emotional accepting the award, which she said was very heavy and decided to place on the floor while she spoke.
“This is my first lead role in a movie and my first time at a film festival,” she said. “I’m extremely honored.”
South Korean auteur Lee Chang-dong’s poetic portrait of class and labor, “Possible Love,” won the Silver Lion grand jury prize. “Possible Love” is Lee’s first film in eight years, following his acclaimed “Burning.”
“NAZA,” a harrowing documentary about military strategies employed in the war in Gaza from Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, was awarded a special jury prize.
“It is really, really especially important to us that Israelis watch this film,” Abraham said.
The was added to the main competition late — at the request of the filmmakers — and debuted late in the schedule as well, but its impact was felt as it received a record-breaking standing ovation, lasting some 25 minutes, after its premiere.
Shot on the rooftops of Tel Aviv at night in extreme secrecy over three years, “NAZA” features testimony from 24 Israeli military insiders including intelligence officers and soldiers give who insight into the war in Gaza and what they say is the systemic killing of Palestinian civilians.
The jury gave the Silver Lion for directing to Ilya Krzhanovsky for his film “Dau,” a project about the Soviet physicists who built the atomic bomb that has taken over 20 years to make. Krzhanovsky, who renounced his Russian citizenship in protest of the war in Ukraine, dedicated the prize to Ukrainians, including his mother who was born there.
French director Stéphane Brizé’s won the screenplay prize for his corporate drama “A Good Little Soldier.” Malou Khebizi was given the Marcello Mastroianni award for emerging actor for her role in Cédric Kahn’s “A Place to Heal,” which is set in an adolescent psychiatric ward in a public hospital.
Aside from Malkovich's win, the starrier, Hollywood films playing in competition were shut out of the awards, including “Primetime,” “Bunker” and “Ink.”
