Governing AI agents with Microsoft Entra Agent ID and Agent 365
Short summary
This article outlines a seven-part governance model for managing AI agent identities in enterprises using Microsoft Entra Agent ID. It covers inventory, classification, accountability, metadata, conditional access, access packages, lifecycle workflows, and monitoring. The approach emphasizes visibility before enforcement to avoid ungoverned or orphaned agents.
- •Seven-stage governance model: inventory, classify, assign accountability, metadata, access control, governed access, lifecycle, monitoring
- •Covers agents from Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, third-party platforms, and shadow AI
- •Enforcement should not begin until the agent estate is fully understood and classified
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
