From Copilot to Agents: Governing the Next Wave of AI
In this webinar, we will share insights from organizations that have already rolled out Microsoft 365 Copilot and are working through the transition to agents. This includes Copilot Studio, declarative agents, and autonomous workflows, along with the governance decisions that come with them.
This session is intended for IT, security, compliance, and business leaders who need a clear understanding of what AI governance looks like when it is applied daily. Rather than focusing on theory, our experts will walk through the controls, policies, and operating practices that help organizations gain value from AI while minimizing risk.
In this session, we will cover:
– How Copilot and agents are changing how work happens across the organization
– The governance foundation needed before expanding AI use at scale
– Data, identity, and oversharing risks specific to Copilot and agent deployments
– How to control agent growth, including who can build, publish, and own them
– Key management capabilities in Microsoft Purview, Entra, and the Copilot admin center
– How IT, security, legal, and business teams can set guardrails together without slowing progress
Why this matters now:
Agents represent a different type of risk. Unlike tools that only offer suggestions, agents can take action.
Without clear governance, organizations may face data exposure, unmanaged AI usage, compliance gaps, and agents with no clear owner. However, with the right framework in place, teams can benefit from Copilot and agents while keeping data protected, responsibilities clear, and users supported.
