Take control of every AI agent, managed or not, running in your environment using Agent 365 and Microsoft Entra. Surface agents across AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, Databricks, and Salesforce in one registry, assign Entra Agent IDs via CLI or SDK, and enforce least-privilege access through Conditional Access policies and Agent Blueprints, all without rebuilding your existing identity infrastructure.
Lock down agent activity with sign-in logs that capture every authentication attempt, policy hit, and failure. Govern agents as first-class identities alongside your users, apps, and devices, and draw a hard line between managed and unmanaged AI in your organization.
Vince Smith, Microsoft Entra Principal Product Manager, shares how to establish full visibility, access control, and lifecycle governance for AI agents using Microsoft Entra and Agent 365.

Surface every AI agent in your tenant and expose the ones throwing security signals — across both the IT and SOC view. Triage high-severity alerts as IT in the Microsoft 365 admin center, then pivot into the full incident graph as a SOC analyst in Microsoft Defender. Block malicious tool invocations the instant they fire and catch jailbreak attempts on Copilot Studio agents before they take hold.
Trace a compromised user back to suspicious agent activity, then trigger Microsoft Entra conditional access to revoke the session and force a password reset straight from the incident. Hunt overpermissioned agents with pre-built advanced hunting templates — including one that exposes every agent running MCP tools on the maker's standing credentials — and pull risky builds from the Agent Store using the Agent Registry.
Spencer Berg, AI & Security Product Manager, shares how to turn agent risk signals into coordinated remediation across Defender, Entra, and the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Ensure your tenant configuration doesn't drift from defined security and compliance requirements with Microsoft Entra Tenant Governance. Capture configuration as code across 200+ resource types in Entra, Intune, Exchange, Teams, Defender, and Purview. Turn that snapshot into a Monitor. It scans for drift every six hours and flags every policy change.
Extend control to the tenants you don't fully see today. Entra Tenant Governance surfaces them automatically through B2B, multi-tenant app, and billing signals. Request governance with role-based templates. Complete the secure approval handshake in the Entra admin center, then administer the governed tenant from a single browser using the roles forged in that handshake. Jeff Staiman, Microsoft Entra Principal Product Manager, shares how to bring every tenant under one governance model.

Search across massive volumes of files using natural language, pinpoint the highest risk content, and connect it to user activity to see the full scope of an incident.
Investigate and act in one workflow. Analyze content deeply across files, emails, and AI interactions, uncover hidden or unclassified sensitive data, and contain exposure fast. Proactively identify risks, respond to incidents with clarity, and mitigate impact before it spreads.
Christophe Fiessinger, Microsoft Purview Principal Squad Leader, joins Jeremy Chapman to walk through real-world investigation workflows—from scoping and analysis to mitigation and automation—so you can move faster and make more informed security decisions.

Adopt a Zero Trust approach that lets you verify every access request—human, machine, or AI—before it reaches your most critical resources. As AI agents, semantic search, and automation accelerate how work gets done, you can reduce risk by explicitly validating identity, enforcing least-privilege access, and assuming breach across every step of your environment. Apply layered, continuous protection across identities, endpoints, networks, data, AI resources, applications, and infrastructure so attackers can't exploit any weak links.
Michael Madrigal, Security Product Manager, shares how you can protect productivity and keep pace with an evolving threat landscape, by continuously assessing risk, securing resources at runtime, and adapting policies as conditions change.
