Microsoft’s Copilot for Microsoft 365 was supposed to make AI agents safer to run at enterprise scale; instead, recent reports show a control-plane failure that left some agents discoverable and installable despite tenant-level policy locks—forcing administrators into time-consuming, per-agent...
Microsoft’s Copilot agent governance has slid into the spotlight after multiple, independent reports found that tenant-level policies intended to prevent user access to AI agents were not reliably enforced — a misconfiguration and control-plane gap that left some Copilot Agents discoverable or...

A security researcher’s routine Copilot query revealed a startling blind spot in Microsoft’s logging: under certain prompts, Copilot could return file summaries without leaving the expected Purview audit entry — and, according to the researcher, Microsoft quietly rolled out a fix without issuing...
Microsoft’s Copilot may have closed an eye‑catching zero‑click hole, but a quieter — and arguably more dangerous — problem has been bubbling under the surface: Copilot and related AI components are not reliably creating the audit trails organizations depend on for compliance and forensics. That...
