agent sprawl
About this tag
Agent sprawl refers to the uncontrolled proliferation of AI agents within an enterprise, creating governance, identity, and security challenges. On WindowsForum, discussions highlight how Microsoft and Workday are addressing this through integrations like Entra Agent ID and Workday's Agent System of Record (ASOR). These tools aim to give each agent a directory-backed identity, enabling lifecycle management, access control, and auditing alongside human employees. Topics cover identity-first governance, runtime orchestration, and the risks of autonomous agents operating without proper oversight. The focus is on enterprise IT, security, and compliance, with practical guidance for managing agent deployments in Microsoft-centric environments.
