Microsoft Agent 365 is a control plane for AI agents. Think of it as the layer that helps you manage how AI agents operate across your organization, especially alongside tools like Microsoft 365 and Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Instead of deploying agents in isolation, Agent 365 gives you a way to extend your existing infrastructure from people to agents. It’s designed so teams can bring AI agents into their workflows while still keeping visibility, governance, and security aligned with company standards.

Agent 365 is built to help you treat AI agents as part of your workforce, not as disconnected tools. It focuses on three core areas:

• Observe – Provide a clearer view of how agents are being used, what they’re doing, and where they’re active across your environment.
• Govern – Apply policies and controls so agents operate within your organization’s guidelines, similar to how you manage user access and compliance today.
• Secure – Extend your existing security posture to AI agents, helping you protect data and reduce risk as you scale agent usage.

In short, Agent 365 helps you rethink how you manage an “agentic workforce” so that AI agents can work alongside people in a controlled and predictable way.

Most organizations already have mature processes and tools for managing people: identity, access, monitoring, and security. Agent 365 is designed to extend those same concepts to AI agents.

Practically, this means:

• Using your existing Microsoft 365 foundation as the environment where agents operate.
• Applying similar governance and security approaches to agents as you do to human users.
• Helping teams confidently introduce agents into workflows without creating a separate, unmanaged technology stack.

By doing this, Agent 365 helps you reimagine your workforce model so that people and agents can work together under a consistent set of controls.
