Securing AI Agents: Identity, Authorization, and the DPACT Framework

In this episode, Sahil Agarwal talks about the critical challenges of identity, authorisation, and security in the age of AI agents. Agarwal introduces the DPACT framework (Delegation, Policy, Auditability, Context, and Time) as a blueprint for building responsible, guardrailed agentic systems, moving away from simple token-based access toward bounded, delegated authority.
