The Governance Gap Is Already Open
Microsoft predicts 1.3 billion AI agents in circulation by 2028. Right now, 80% of Fortune 500 companies already use Microsoft agents. People are building them in Copilot Studio, deploying them through Teams, connecting them to SharePoint sites and Power Automate flows, and before most IT teams notice, there are dozens, sometimes hundreds, of agents running across the environment with no single place to see them all.
Agent 365 gives organizations the infrastructure to close that gap: a central Agent Registry, Microsoft Entra Agent ID for identity management, Purview integration for data protection, and Conditional Access policies that treat AI agents with the same rigor as human users.
But infrastructure is not a strategy. A registry tells you what exists. Governance tells you who is accountable, what agents can touch, and what happens when something goes wrong. These are not the same thing, and confusing them is exactly where most organizations run into trouble.
This whitepaper features expert advice on how to get it right.
