Microsoft Agent 365

Product

Control plane for observing, governing and securing AI agents across an organisation, with agent registry, identity, access control and monitoring built on Entra, Purview and Defender.

Description

As organisations deploy dozens or hundreds of agents, they need to know which agents exist, who owns them, what data they reach and how they behave. Agent 365 provides a registry, gives agents their own identity, applies access and data-protection policies and surfaces telemetry for security and compliance teams.

It connects agents built in Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry and third-party platforms to the same governance stack that protects users.
