Microsoft Launches Agent 365: Enhanced Governance and Security for AI in the Workplace
  • Fabric IQ provides a live, connected view of business entities via OneLake to support cross-environment model use.

  • Microsoft unveils Agent 365, a governance layer for AI agents in the workplace, designed to extend IT-style controls to AI-powered assistants.

  • The overarching emphasis is on unifying security across the software supply chain and multicloud ecosystems to improve resilience, speed, and secure-by-default development.

  • The toolset includes real-time security monitoring of agent activity and data flows to counter vulnerabilities like prompt injection attacks.

  • Control Plane offers a unified view of agents across Foundry, Entra, Copilot Studio, and external platforms, with real-time tracing, policy, identity, and Defender/Purview integrations.

  • A Threat Hunting Agent enables natural-language-based investigations, allowing analysts to conduct complex hunts without specialized query languages.

  • Copilot adds voice commands for mobile and desktop, enabling seamless switching between voice and text and starting conversations via vocal prompts to pull insights from meetings, emails, and files.

  • A unified Security Dashboard centralizes AI posture and risk across Defender, Entra, and Purview to govern agentic AI and related workflows.

  • The agents were announced at Ignite 2025 and are in Frontier early access for Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed customers, with broader access planned for Personal, Family, and Premium subscribers.

  • Alongside, Microsoft introduced a new round of Copilot updates to deepen generative AI integration across Word, Excel, Teams, and other apps.

  • The platform aims to protect against threats and ensure agents stay within defined boundaries to reduce rogue behavior.

  • Code apps in Power Apps offer enterprise-grade security and lifecycle management, backed by a large connector library and integrated data layers.
