Available May 1: Agent 365—the control plane for agents

Agent 365 is the control plane for managing AI agents, enabling organizations to extend their existing infrastructure for users to agents with purpose-built capabilities tailored for agent needs—all without reinventing processes.

Agent 365 provides comprehensive agent management, including discovery, lifecycle management, and IT-defined guardrails for both agents and the people who create or manage them.

Agent 365 enforces least privilege access, secures agent access to resources, protects sensitive data, and includes advanced threat protection and vulnerability management.

Agent 365 will be generally available on May 1, 2026, as part of qualifying Microsoft 365 plans or as a standalone plan.

Agent 365 provides detailed logging, reporting of agent actions, data security risks, security events, and audit trails to ensure compliance and performance assessment.

Microsoft uniquely extends Entra—protecting over 1B enterprise identities—to agents, integrates seamlessly with agent platforms, and delivers the most widely used productivity apps, making management and security effortless.

Microsoft 365 E7 is designed for organizations deploying AI broadly, where Copilot, agents, and enterprise security need to work together as a single, governed system. Agent 365 is also available as a standalone license, while ME7 provides the most complete experience for scaling agents securely across an organization.

Microsoft 365 E7 includes Agent 365. ME7 brings together Copilot, AI agents, and enterprise grade security, governance, and management to operationalize AI at scale. Agent 365 is the control plane within ME7 that provides centralized governance, security, and observability for agents, so they can run safely across the organization.
