About this tag
Agent governance refers to the policies, tools, and practices that organizations use to manage, monitor, and control AI agents in enterprise environments. On WindowsForum, discussions cover Microsoft's agent governance features in Dataverse, Viva, and Entra, as well as third-party solutions like Anthropic's Claude Tag and Merge's Agent Handler. Key themes include audit trails, policy enforcement, risk management, and the shift from experimental AI to managed agent estates. Topics also include AI insurance for transferable risk, governed autonomous agents like Microsoft Scout, and the broader agent-first computing strategy announced at Build 2026. These threads emphasize the need for IT to measure, govern, and secure agent activity across Microsoft 365, Azure, and Windows.
