How big is the delta between monitoring agents and controlling agents? That is, is it 1:1, that any aspect monitored can also be controlled?

May 12, 2026There is a significant delta between monitoring and control. Agent 365 can provide visibility into many agent types, registry-only, synced, or shadow agents, but full control depends on identity and integration.
