Microsoft launches Agent 365 to govern Copilot agents at scale

Microsoft has unveiled Agent 365, a control dashboard for monitoring, governing and securing AI agents built with Copilot. The tool forms part of Wave 3 updates that also introduce app agents and Work IQ features to support enterprise AI operations.Agent 365 targets governance needs as Copilot expands into Teams and SharePoint. It requires E7 Frontier Suite licensing and rolls out gradually.Safety and evaluation tools come built-in, addressing risks from agent proliferation.

Before Agent 365, enterprises had no unified way to oversee Copilot-powered agents as usage scaled across apps like Teams and SharePoint. Admins relied on fragmented permissions and manual checks, leaving gaps in security and compliance.Agent 365 provides a central control plane that makes large-scale governance routine. This shifts AI deployment from risky experimentation to managed operations, without needing custom builds or halting Copilot rollout.
