It brings AI agents under the same identity, access, compliance, and threat protections used for enterprise worker identities\u2014so agents can be inventoried, governed, and secured at scale while accelerating productivity. Agents are registered in a central Agent Registry and receive Microsoft Entra Agent IDs, enabling lifecycle and access governance, Conditional Access (CA), Purview data protection, and Defender-backed runtime defense and observability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why it matters now:<\/strong><br>As agents permeate daily workflows, unmanaged access or \u201cshadow agents\u201d create material risk. Agent 365 consolidates visibility, standardizes guardrails, and gives leadership measurable metrics (usage, quality, ROI) to scale what works and retire what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The gap:<\/strong><br>Teams can spin up agents in tools and chats, but identity, access, and data policies are often inconsistent or invisible which creates shadow agents with unclear ownership and no reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Status quo:<\/strong><br>Piecemeal controls (per\u2011app configuration, ad hoc tokens) lack tenant\u2011wide visibility and policy consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our perspective:<\/strong><br>Treat agents like digital coworkers. Register every agent, assign owners\/sponsors, govern the lifecycle, apply Conditional Access\/Data Loss Prevention\/labels[BE1.1], and monitor behavior, all while using Agent 365 as the control plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Identity &amp; Access Management (IAM) Capabilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agent 365 brings AI agents under the same identity, access, compliance, and threat protection used for workforce identities.
