AI agents are popping up everywhere - in Microsoft 365, SaaS apps, and on staff devices. The challenge is knowing what they can access and whether they’re operating safely.

Microsoft Agent 365 gives businesses the visibility and control they’ve been missing:

✅ Discover all AI agents across apps, devices, and clouds
✅ Govern what they can access and how they behave
✅ Apply the same security policies you use for people and devices
✅ Block or restrict unmanaged ‘shadow AI’
✅ Monitor agent activity across Microsoft 365, Windows, SaaS, and more.

It’s a big step toward proper security and governance as AI becomes more autonomous.
