The age of agents has highlighted that securing agents is critical. Last month, ahead of #MSIgnite, I had the pleasure of speaking with the incredible Sam Sabin, alongside my dear colleague and friend Charles Lamanna, on why securing agentic identities are essential. Sam does a wonderful job articulating the risks organizations face when they don’t have full visibility across their systems. Microsoft’s new Agent 365 tackles this challenge directly, giving security teams complete visibility over AI agents across the environment. With this insight, organizations can confidently navigate the evolving AI landscape, staying secure while unlocking new opportunities. 💜 https://lnkd.in/gYsjpDPE

Agentic identities are the new VIP passes—except if you hand them out carelessly, you’re not just letting someone backstage, you’re letting them rewrite the playlist! It’s great to see visibility becoming front and center; you can only secure what you can see, and in the agent age, “flying blind” is a pretty risky maneuver. That’s why platforms like https://www.chat-data.com/ are so valuable for organizations aiming to keep agents both smart and secure. With user authentication, access controls, and detailed conversation logs, you get the kind of oversight and traceability CISOs dream about—so you can innovate confidently without those surprise mystery acts.

When machine learning models are used for decisioning, for some industries the visibility into how model works is important. Now with agents which are far more intelligent but also far more complex and risky , security and visibility are critical.

Interesting to see visibility and control arriving after the push to adopt agents. As ever, identity and governance aren’t blockers to innovation — they’re what stop innovation becoming cleanup work.
What’s powerful is the distinction between visibility and sovereignty. Visibility tells you what agents are doing. Sovereignty determines who they ultimately obey. Most organizations only discover the difference after agents have already crossed boundaries they didn’t know existed. This is the inevitable next layer where AI governance becomes real.

Visibility and governance for agents feels like the missing layer for many orgs
Agent 365 sounds like a game-changer for agentic identity security; complete visibility is definitely key!
Really appreciate the focus on visibility over hype. Security has to evolve alongside autonomy.

Always so good to chat with you, Vasu!!
Well said, Vasu Jakkal As organizations move deeper into agentic AI, security directly shapes marketing and GTM velocity. Without clear agent identity, governance, and visibility, AI creates friction—slowing adoption, complicating messaging, and undermining confidence across the go-to-market motion. What stands out with Agent 365 is that it removes that friction upfront. By making agent visibility and security foundational, teams can move faster, align product, marketing, and GTM execution, and scale AI from pilots to enterprise impact. That’s how AI becomes a growth lever rather than a risk conversation.
