Scale AI agents with centralized visibility, governance, security, and control using Microsoft Agent 365

A male IT director reviews his team’s desktop alongside two coworkers, using Microsoft Agent 365 to monitor AI agents, understand activity, and maintain stronger control across the organization.

 

What is Microsoft Agent 365 and why it matters

 

Microsoft Agent 365 is Microsoft's control plane for AI agents. It helps organizations manage agents at scale by giving administrators a centralized way to inventory agents, monitor activity, assign identities, govern access, and apply security and compliance controls.

Rather than acting as a standalone agent-building tool, Agent 365 works alongside Microsoft solutions such as Copilot Studio, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Defender. Together, these capabilities help organizations move from disconnected agent experiments to a more governed, secure, and scalable AI agent strategy.

What business challenges does Microsoft Agent 365 solve?

 

As AI agents become more common across departments, organizations need a way to manage adoption without creating new security, compliance, or operational gaps. Microsoft Agent 365 helps address agent sprawl, shadow AI, unclear ownership, unmanaged access, and limited visibility into how agents interact with business data and applications. By bringing agents into a centralized governance model, Agent 365 helps IT scale AI more responsibly, protect sensitive information, and maintain control as agents become part of everyday work.

Microsoft Defender integration

Agent 365 works with Microsoft Defender capabilities to help security teams detect, investigate, and respond to suspicious activity, unsafe tool use, and runtime risks.

Support for Microsoft and third-party agent environments

Agent 365 supports agents built with Microsoft tools as well as selected third-party and custom environments, enabling a more flexible path to manage AI agents without forcing every team into one development platform.

Bring visibility and control to your AI agent environment

Microsoft Agent 365 helps organizations understand which agents are running across the business, who owns them, how they are being used, and what systems or data they may interact with. This gives IT and business leaders the visibility needed to reduce agent sprawl, uncover unmanaged AI activity, and create a stronger foundation for governance.

Strengthen security, identity, and compliance for AI agents

Agent 365 helps extend Microsoft's identity, security, and compliance controls to AI agents. Through integrations with Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Defender, organizations can manage agent identities, protect sensitive data, monitor activity, and respond to threats.

A department team reviews an AI agent built by a coworker, while Microsoft Agent 365 helps the organization bring employee-created agents into a more visible and governed environment. A team carries out its daily work with support from AI adoption, while Microsoft Agent 365 helps the organization manage agents responsibly as they become part of business operations. Employees stay focused on their desktops as Microsoft Agent 365 helps IT and business leaders govern the AI agents working behind the scenes to support productivity, security, and control.

Scale AI adoption with a governed operating model

AI agents can help employees save time, automate repetitive work, accelerate decision-making, and improve business processes. However, those benefits are harder to achieve when every team is building and managing agents differently. Microsoft Agent 365 helps organizations standardize how agents are registered, monitored, secure, and governed. This makes it easier to move from pilots to production, support more teams across the business, and measure whether agents are creating value.
