Unlock AI agents without sacrificing security

Heather_Poulsen — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 19:27:12 GMT

AI agents are reaching into mailboxes, files, line-of-business apps, and the open web on behalf of your users—and the business wants more of them, faster. To scale agents safely, your security teams need to be able to verify each agent, govern what it can access, and enforce clear boundaries across every interaction.

Learn how Microsoft Entra helps you discover shadow AI agents, govern agent permissions, keep BYOD and endpoint-based agents in scope, and apply Conditional Access to AI prompts and responses. Then see how Microsoft Purview provides visibility into agent activity, strengthens runtime data protection, helps detect agentic risk, and supports auditability across local agents developed on GitHub Copilot CLI, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and OpenClaw.

Live AMA: Defining AI boundaries with data sensitivity

Trevor_Rusher — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 16:58:54 GMT

As AI becomes embedded in everyday work, traditional data security models break down. Copilots and agents can search, summarize, and recombine information at machine speed, creating new exposure paths for sensitive data — even when nothing is formally shared or exfiltrated.

In this session, we’ll explain why data sensitivity, not data location, is now the true security boundary, and what that shift means for protecting information in the age of AI. We’ll walk through how organizations can establish a shared understanding of what data is sensitive, use sensitivity labels to consistently define how that data should be handled, and automatically enforce protections wherever data is created or used — including in AI experiences.

We’ll close with a live Ask Me Anything (AMA), where you can bring real-world questions about securing Copilot and agents, scaling classification and labeling, and turning sensitivity into consistent, enforceable controls with Microsoft Purview.
