Wednesday, December 16, 2026, 9:00 AM Pacific Time

Secure identity and access for every agent, local or cloud
Thursday, December 17, 2026, 9:00 AM Pacific Time
Ehud Itshaki, Principal Product Manager; Leandro Iwase, Senior Product Marketing Manager
Local AI agents on employee devices are expanding the agent estate beyond the cloud. Identity and security administrators need to know which agents exist, distinguish agent actions from user actions, and control what those agents can access. See how Microsoft Entra, working with Microsoft Agent 365, helps you manage AI agents at scale, govern agent identities and lifecycles, and protect agent access to resources. We’ll cover supported Microsoft and third-party agent scenarios—local and cloud—and explain which controls apply to each.
