Govern, Secure, and Scale AI Agents Across Your Organization with Microsoft Agent 365

Microsoft Agent 365 gives enterprise leaders a centralized way to discover, govern, secure, and measure AI agents across Microsoft 365, so innovation can scale without introducing risk.

As AI agents move from experimentation to operational reality, Agent 365 provides the control plane IT, security, and business leaders need to safely embed agents into everyday work.

What Is Microsoft Agent 365?

Microsoft Agent 365 is Microsoft’s enterprise governance and management platform for AI agents operating across the Microsoft ecosystem, including Copilot Studio, SharePoint, Teams, Azure AI Foundry, and more.

A365 brings structure to what is quickly becoming a complex agent landscape by extending existing Microsoft identity, security, and compliance controls, such as Microsoft Entra, Defender, and Purview, to AI agents.

In short: A365 treats AI agents like digital employees, complete with identities, permissions, audit trails, and lifecycle management.

Why Agent 365 Matters for AI and IT Leaders

Most organizations already have AI agents running, often without realizing it.

Some are built intentionally by developers. Others are created organically by users inside Microsoft 365. Many lack clear ownership, visibility, or guardrails, yet they can access data, automate workflows, and take real actions.

Agent 365 helps leaders answer three critical questions:

Do we know what AI agents exist in our environment and who owns them?

Are agents secure, compliant, and operating with the right access?

Are agents delivering measurable business value?

Without centralized governance, AI agents quickly become a new source of operational and security risk. Agent 365 is designed to solve that problem.

Core Capabilities of A365

Centralized Agent Registry

A complete inventory of every AI agent in your environment

Agent 365 provides a single, unified registry of AI agents regardless of where they were built or deployed. IT teams gain visibility into agent ownership, permissions, deployment platform, and policy alignment in one place.

Think of it as HR for your AI agents.

Agent Identity with Microsoft Entra

Every agent gets a first-class identity

Each AI agent is assigned a unique Agent ID in Microsoft Entra, enabling:

Role-based access and conditional access policies
Agent-specific licensing
Full auditability and accountability
Clear linkage between agent actions and responsible users

Agents appear directly in the organizational structure, reinforcing ownership and traceability.

Lifecycle Management and Ownership Control

Prevent orphaned or unmanaged agents

When users change roles or leave the organization, Agent 365 ensures AI agents don’t become unmanaged risks. Administrators can easily:

Identify agents without active owners
Reassign ownership
Decommission unused or unnecessary agents

This mirrors best practices already used for Microsoft 365 assets, now extended to AI.

Built-In Security with Microsoft Defender

Apply zero-trust principles to agents

Agent 365 integrates directly with Microsoft Defender to monitor and protect agent activity, including:

Continuous monitoring of agent behavior
Detection of suspicious or unexpected actions
Advanced threat hunting and investigation

AI agents are powerful and should never be implicitly trusted. Defender helps security teams verify and respond.

Compliance and Data Protection via Microsoft Purview

Control what agents can access, modify, and create

As agents begin to take action, compliance becomes mission-critical. Agent 365 extends Purview capabilities to agent activity, enabling:

Sensitivity labels that govern agent access to data
Unified audit logs across agent interactions
Support for compliance reviews by agent or owner

Your AI agents inherit the strengths (or weaknesses) of your Microsoft 365 foundation. A365 makes those controls enforceable.

Controlled Agent Store Access

Decide which agents users can discover and deploy

IT leaders can control what agents appear in the agent store by role, department, or phase of rollout. New agents can be piloted with specific teams before expanding organization-wide, reducing risk while accelerating adoption

Business Impact and ROI Measurement

Move beyond experimentation to outcomes

Agent 365 includes a centralized dashboard that shows:

Number of deployed agents
Active users
Estimated time saved across workflows

Leadership can finally connect agent adoption to real operational impact, supporting smarter investment decisions and prioritization.

How A365 Fits into Your AI Strategy

A365 is not a replacement for Copilot Studio or custom development. It is the governance layer that makes enterprise AI scalable.

Organizations typically progress from:

Low-code Copilot Studio agents

More advanced, integrated agents built with Azure and the Agents Toolkit

Native Microsoft 365 agent features
