Microsoft Agent 365, a new management platform for AI agents that Microsoft announced at its Ignite conference in November<\/a>, is going out of preview today. The new solution offers advanced monitoring tools for AI agents, including those created with third-party platforms, but it\u2019s also adding support for local AI agents, starting with those created with the popular OpenClaw platform.<\/p>\n \u201cTo help organizations address accelerating agent sprawl and the rise of unmanaged agents, we\u2019re introducing new capabilities as part of Agent 365 so you can discover local AI agents, and apply appropriate controls, such as blocking unmanaged agents,\u201d the company explained today<\/a>. Organizations already using Microsoft Defender and Intune will be able to use these tools to manage local AI agents created with OpenClaw on Windows PCs.<\/p>\n With Agent 365, IT admins can apply Microsoft Intune policies to block common methods of running OpenClaw on managed devices. Microsoft plans to expand these controls to other agents like GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code soon.<\/p>\n Microsoft Agent 365 will also allow organizations to use policy-based controls to prevent AI agents from performing risky actions involving sensitive data. Moreover, Microsoft Defender will be able to block coding agents and generate detailed alerts to support security investigations.<\/p>\n For AI agents built on other clouds, such as AWS Bedrock and the Google Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, Microsoft is launching the Agent 365 registry sync in public preview. It will allow Microsoft 365 admins to discover agents on these other platforms and import them to their agent registry for further monitoring. Microsoft also partnered with Adobe, SAP, Zendesk, Manus, and other partners to make their agents fully manageable by its Agent 365 platform.<\/p>\n Lastly, Microsoft announced the launch of Windows 365 for Agents<\/a> in public preview. It will offer organizations a Cloud PC designed specifically for running AI agents at enterprise scale. \u201c It introduces a new class of Cloud PCs purpose-built for agentic workloads and managed in Intune, allowing agents to run in policy-controlled environments, interact with applications, and operate with the same identity, security, and management controls already used for employees,\u201d the company explained today.<\/p>\n Microsoft Agent 365 is now available in Microsoft 365 E7, or as a standalone offering at $15 per user per month. As for Windows 365 for Agents, the public preview requires an Agent 365 license, an Intune license, and an active Azure subscription.
