Copilot Agent Management: Regain control before agents run wild

Speakers

• Daniel Rohregger

About this session

Agents are everywhere: are you ready to manage them? This session gives you a clear model of Microsoft 365 agent technologies and a practical blueprint to inventory, secure, monitor, and govern them without slowing adoption. Copilot Agents are moving from POC to production fast, and admins need to know which controls live where, how to prevent oversharing, and how to show usage and value to leadership. While Agent 365 surfaces the different agents from platforms like Agent Builder, Copilot Studio, Foundry and more, we need to understand that there is more to it. Agents using existing data on SharePoint, querying MCP servers, having their own permissions and exchanging information with other agents. Finally, we look at cost, environment, and access strategies so you can scale safely, including when pay-as-you-go for agent chat makes sense before full licensing. You will leave with a realistic approach to inventory, risk reduction, monitoring, and lifecycle management you can apply in your tenant the next day.
