AI agents are only as good as your data: Agent 365 deep dive
Agents don't create new risk. They reveal it.
Microsoft 365 is evolving from a productivity suite into an agentic platform, and most environments weren't built with autonomous AI in mind. Oversharing in SharePoint and OneDrive, unlabeled content, and murky identity models don't disappear when you turn on agents, they get amplified. Agent 365 gives IT teams a control plane to discover, manage, and govern agents at scale, but the platform can only govern what it's given. In this fireside chat, learn how modern IT and security leaders are preparing the data, identity, and governance foundation so agents can act safely, not just answer questions.
Key Topics
- What Agent 365 is, and why Microsoft calls it the "control plane" for agents
- The data readiness gaps — oversharing, labeling, and ownership — that agents expose fastest
- Why identity governance has become the new security boundary for AI
- Managing the shift from agents that answer questions to agents that take action
What You'll Walk Away With
- A clearer picture of where your Microsoft 365 environment is, and isn't, ready for agents
- Practical first steps to close oversharing and identity gaps before scaling AI
- How Agent 365, Entra, Purview, and Defender work together to keep agents in check

Speakers
Michael Faas Director
Cybersecurity Services, SoftwareOne Michael leads
SoftwareOne's cybersecurity services practice, helping organizations strengthen the identity, permissions, and data governance foundation that AI and agentic systems depend on. He works closely with IT and security leaders to close the readiness gaps, like oversharing and unclear content ownership, that agents are quick to expose.
Dennis Alvarado
M365 Copilot Sales Specialist, SoftwareOne
Dennis helps organizations adopt Microsoft 365 Copilot and Agent 365, guiding customers from early experimentation to governed, scaled deployment. His focus is the control plane concept behind Agent 365: giving every agent a managed identity so IT can discover, monitor, and govern agents across the enterprise.
