Microsoft Agent 365
Microsoft
Control plane to observe, govern and secure an organization's AI agents via a central registry, Entra, Purview and Defender.
Curated by Tiberiu ArvaVerified
Strengths
- Central agent registry and agent map
- Entra, Purview and Defender coverage for agents
- Agent activity in Purview unified audit log
Practitioner note
Strongest fit for Microsoft 365 / E5 tenants that want agent inventory and policy in the same Entra, Purview and Defender stack as users; licensing is per user, so model cost against everyone who owns or uses managed agents.
