Address the risks that come with a growing agent estate

As teams build and deploy more AI agents, IT and security leaders face a new operational reality. Without centralised oversight, agent expansion introduces security, compliance and operational challenges:

  • Shadow agent exposure: Custom or third-party agents can emerge outside established IT oversight, creating new risks around access to corporate data.
  • Unclear data boundaries: Agents can access and process sensitive information, making clear permissions and data boundaries essential.
  • Lack of operational visibility: Security and IT teams need clear visibility of agent identities, activity, performance and risk across the organisation.

Microsoft Agent 365 helps organisations observe, govern and secure agents as adoption grows:

UNCLEAR DATA BOUNDARIES

LACK OF OPERATIONAL VISIBILITY

Security and IT teams need clear visibility of agent identities, activity, performance and risk across the organisation.

Establishing clear security guardrails for AI agents

As agents take on more work, organisations need to extend identity, access and governance controls to them. Applying the right governance controls can help organisations manage risk as agent adoption grows:

  • Defined system access: Limit agent rights to essential data and tools, helping reduce the risk of unauthorised access.
  • Data protection: Apply appropriate data security, retention and compliance controls to the information agents use and create.
  • Threat protection: Monitor agent activity for behaviours that may indicate policy breaches or security risk.
