Microsoft Launches Agent 365 for Enterprise AI Agent Governance and Security
New Agent 365 tool provides control over autonomous AI agents for $15/user.
Microsoft has introduced Agent 365, a dedicated governance and security control plane designed specifically for enterprise AI agents. Priced at $15 per user per month, this new offering allows IT teams to manage and oversee autonomous AI systems that are built on Microsoft platforms such as Foundry and Copilot Studio, along with third-party agents. This is a crucial step in addressing the oversight gap that many enterprise buyers have faced when considering the deployment of autonomous agents in their operations.
Unlike the recent Wave 3 update of Microsoft 365 Copilot, which integrated AI into Office applications, Agent 365 serves as the security and governance layer that sits above those applications. This distinction is vital for enterprise IT and security teams, who require comprehensive control and visibility over their AI deployments to ensure compliance and mitigate risk. With Agent 365, organizations can confidently utilize autonomous agents to optimize workflows and enhance productivity, all while maintaining robust oversight.
- Agent 365 priced at $15 per user per month for enterprise use.
- Provides control over autonomous AI systems from Microsoft and third-party platforms.
- Distinct from Microsoft 365 Copilot, focusing on governance and security.
