Agentic AI is revolutionizing industries as companies transform into Frontier Firms. With 80% of Fortune 500 companies already using agents, integrating these intelligent tools requires robust security measures. Microsoft Security presents new purpose-built capabilities to help organizations secure agentic AI, ensuring trust and protection against emerging threats.
Agent 365, set for general availability on May 1, offers visibility and tools to observe, secure, and govern agents at scale using existing infrastructure. This includes new features from Microsoft Defender, Entra, and Purview to secure agent access, prevent data oversharing, and defend against emerging threats. Agent 365 is part of the comprehensive Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite.
To fully secure agentic AI, it’s crucial to consider securing the foundations as well. New capabilities include a Security Dashboard for AI, which provides unified visibility into AI-related risks across the organization; Entra Internet Access Shadow AI Detection, which identifies unknown AI applications; and enhanced Intune app inventory support for targeted remediation of high-risk software.
Microsoft Entra secures access with new identity security features that harden infrastructure, improve tenant governance, modernize authentication, and enable intelligent access decisions.
