Agent 365: enterprise-grade management for autonomous AI agents

Written by David Tyler | Jan 27, 2026 2:16:39 PM

Imagine this: your team is rolling out a fleet of autonomous AI agents across Microsoft 365. Some of them are embedded into apps that your teams already use and others are new, but each of them are designed to automate workflows, analyse data and boost productivity across your business.

But with this power comes risk! Agents could access sensitive data hosted in your environment or behave unpredictably, creating potential compliance headaches.

This is where Agent 365 steps in.

What is Agent 365?

Agent 365 is a centralised control system for managing AI agents across your M365 environment and beyond. The platform integrates governance and reporting services into a single view in your Microsoft Admin Center, connecting with your existing security tools like Defender, Purview and Entra.

Agent 365 works across three essential areas:

  • Governance centralises policies for deployment, permissions and lifecycle management.
  • Security continuously monitors agent behaviour, ensuring compliance and protecting your company's data.
  • Reporting provides real-time insights into agent activity, access and impact.

With Agent 365, IT team can see every agent in the organisation, enabling you to understand the permissions each one has and control their interactions with data and users. Administrators can grant or adjust access instantly, meaning that autonomous AI is able to operate safely within corporate compliance policies.

Why does Agent 365 matter for enterprise AI?

Autonomous AI agents offer incredible productivity potential but managing them at scale can be complex. Agent 365 fills that gap, providing control over agent deployment and behaviour, enabling secure and auditable processes to be possible.

Rolling out a new AI agent is now simple and safe.
