Next week, the RSAC conference celebrates its 35th anniversary as the security community's pivotal event for meeting new challenges and discovering opportunities to make the world safer. As we reach this milestone, Agentic AI is quickly changing industries.

Many customers are becoming frontier firms focusing on intelligence and trust and using agents to help people reach their goals and rethink how they do business. Our recent research shows that 80% of Fortune 500 companies are already using agents.

At the same time, as these innovations expand, we are also seeing a rise in AI-powered attacks in which agents can act as double agents. CIOs, CISOs, and other security leaders now face important questions. How can they monitor, manage, and secure agents? How do they protect their core systems in this new era? And how can agentic AI help defend their organizations against both old and new threats?

To address these challenges, the solution begins with trust, and security is the foundation of that trust. In this new era of agentic AI, security needs to be built into every part of the AI system. It should work in the background and on its own. Like the AI, it protects. This is our vision: making security the core of the AI stack.

At RSAC 2026, we are bringing this vision to life with new tools that help organizations secure agents, protect core systems, and defend themselves with support from agents and experts. Microsoft Security processes over 100 trillion signals daily, protecting 1.6 million customers, 1 billion identities, and 24 billion Co-Pilot interactions. Keep reading to see how we can help you secure agentic AI.

Secure Agents

Agent 365, available May 1, centralizes agent management for IT, security, and business teams using existing infrastructure. It includes the new Defender Era and Purview features for secure access, data protection, and threat defense.

Agent 365 is part of Microsoft 365 E7, the Frontier Suite, which also includes Copilot, Intra-Suite, and E5, offering advanced air security features for full protection.

Secure Your Foundations

In addition to securing agents, AI must also be protected at every level. Securing agent AI requires safeguarding its systems and the people who build and use it. At RSAC 2026, we are launching new features to help you spot organizational risks, secure identities and adaptive access controls, protect sensitive data in AI workflows, and defend against evolving threats.

The new Identity Risk Score combines risk signals from different accounts to provide a comprehensive view of user risk, supporting real-time access decisions and security investigations. Now available in preview.
Secure Sensitive Data Across AI Workflows

As AI becomes part of daily work, sensitive data now moves quickly through prompts, responses, and grounding flows, sometimes outpacing existing policies. Security teams need to see how AI uses data and be able to prevent oversharing or leaks.

Microsoft now brings data security into the AI control pane, giving organizations a clear view of risks, real-time enforcement, and the confidence to use AI responsibly across the business. New Microsoft Purview features include.
- Expanded Purview Data Loss Prevention for Microsoft 365 Copilot helps block sensitive information such as PII, credit card numbers, and custom data types from being processed or used for web scraping. Generally available March 31.

Buying Guides
Next week, the RSAC conference celebrates its 35th anniversary as the security community's pivotal event for meeting new challenges and discovering opportunities to make the world safer. As we reach this milestone, Agentic AI is quickly changing industries.

Many customers are becoming frontier firms focusing on intelligence and trust and using agents to help people reach their goals and rethink how they do business. Our recent research shows that 80% of Fortune 500 companies are already using agents.

At the same time, as these innovations expand, we are also seeing a rise in AI-powered attacks in which agents can act as double agents. CIOs, CISOs, and other security leaders now face important questions. How can they monitor, manage, and secure agents? How do they protect their core systems in this new era? And how can agentic AI help defend their organizations against both old and new threats?

To address these challenges, the solution begins with trust, and security is the foundation of that trust. In this new era of agentic AI, security needs to be built into every part of the AI system. It should work in the background and on its own. Like the AI, it protects. This is our vision: making security the core of the AI stack.

At RSAC 2026, we are bringing this vision to life with new tools that help organizations secure agents, protect core systems, and defend themselves with support from agents and experts. Microsoft Security processes over 100 trillion signals daily, protecting 1.6 million customers, 1 billion identities, and 24 billion Co-Pilot interactions.

Apply Zero Trust for AI

Zero Trust centers on three ideas: verify consistently, use the least privilege, and assume breaches as AI permeates the environment from models to agents. These principles are critical. At RSAC 2026, we are broadening our Zero Trust architecture to cover the full AI lifecycle. Our updated reference architecture workshop, assessment tools, and new articles make this practical for you.

Next week, the RSAC conference celebrates its 35th anniversary as the security community's pivotal event for meeting new challenges and discovering opportunities to make the world safer. As we reach this milestone, Agentic AI is quickly changing industries.

Many customers are becoming frontier firms focusing on intelligence and trust and using agents to help people reach their goals and rethink how they do business. Our recent research shows that 80% of Fortune 500 companies are already using agents.

At the same time, as these innovations expand, we are also seeing a rise in AI-powered attacks in which agents can act as double agents. CIOs, CISOs, and other security leaders now face important questions. How can they monitor, manage, and secure agents? How do they protect their core systems in this new era? And how can agentic AI help defend their organizations against both old and new threats?

To address these challenges, the solution begins with trust, and security is the foundation of that trust. In this new era of agentic AI, security needs to be built into every part of the AI system. It should work in the background and on its own. Like the AI, it protects. This is our vision: making security the core of the AI stack.

At RSAC 2026, we are bringing this vision to life with new tools that help organizations secure agents, protect core systems, and defend themselves with support from agents and experts. Microsoft Security processes over 100 trillion signals daily, protecting 1.6 million customers, 1 billion identities, and 24 billion Co-Pilot interactions. Keep reading to see how we can help you secure agentic AI.

Secure Agents

Agent 365, available May 1, centralizes agent management for IT, security, and business teams using existing infrastructure. It includes the new Defender Era and Purview features for secure access, data protection, and threat defense.

Agent 365 is part of Microsoft 365 E7, the Frontier Suite, which also includes Copilot, Intra-Suite, and E5, offering advanced air security features for full protection.

Secure Your Foundations

In addition to securing agents, AI must also be protected at every level. Securing agent AI requires safeguarding its systems and the people who build and use it. At RSAC 2026, we are launching new features to help you spot organizational risks, secure identities and adaptive access controls, protect sensitive data in AI workflows, and defend against evolving threats.

Gain Visibility Into Risks Across Your Enterprise

As AI adoption accelerates, so does the need for comprehensive continuous visibility into AI risks across your environment. As more organizations adopt AI, it becomes even more important to have clear, ongoing visibility into AI risks across your environment—from agents to AI apps and services. We are meeting this need with new tools that show you where AI is being used, how it is used, and where your risks might be increasing. These new features are now generally available.
- Entra Internet Access Shadow AI Detection identifies unknown and unmanaged AI apps through network analysis. Available March 31.
- Enhanced Intune App Inventory provides rich visibility into the apps installed on your devices, including AI-enabled apps to support targeted remediation of high-risk software, generally available in May.
Secure Identities With Continuous Adaptive Access

Identity is the foundation of modern security, often the primary target in any system, and the first line of defense against threats. With Microsoft Entra, you can secure access and strengthen identity protection using new features that help you improve your identity setup, manage tenants better, update authentication methods, and make smarter access decisions.
- Entra backup and recovery strengthens resilience by automatically backing up Entra directory objects, enabling rapid recovery in the event of accidental data deletion or unauthorized changes. Now available in preview.
- Entra-Tenant Governance discovers and manages shadow tenants with consistent policies in preview.
- Entra passkey capabilities now include synced passkeys and other passkey profiles, enabling maximum flexibility for end users and making it easy to move between devices, while organizations seeking maximum control can still use device-bound passkeys. In addition, intra-passkeys are now natively integrated into Windows Hello, making phishing-resistant passkey authentication even more seamless across Windows services. Synced passkeys and passkey profiles are generally available. Passkey integration in Windows Hello is in preview.
- Entra External Multi-Factor Authentication allows organizations to connect external MFA providers directly to Microsoft Entra, enabling them to leverage pre-existing MFA investments or use highly specialized MFA methods that are now generally available.
- Entra Adaptive Risk Remediation helps users securely regain access without help desk friction by automatically self-remediating across authentication methods, adapting to where they are in their modern authentication journey. It will be generally available in April.
- Unified Identity Security offers complete protection across your identity systems, control center, and threat identification and response, all designed for quick action and instant decisions. The new identity security dashboard in Microsoft Defender displays the most important data for both human and non-human identities, helping you respond faster. The new Identity Risk Score combines risk signals from different accounts to provide a comprehensive view of user risk, supporting real-time access decisions and security investigations. Now available in preview.
Secure Sensitive Data Across AI Workflows

As AI becomes part of daily work, sensitive data now moves quickly through prompts, responses, and grounding flows, sometimes outpacing existing policies. Security teams need to see how AI uses data and be able to prevent oversharing or leaks.

Microsoft now brings data security into the AI control pane, giving organizations a clear view of risks, real-time enforcement, and the confidence to use AI responsibly across the business. New Microsoft Purview features include.
- Expanded Purview Data Loss Prevention for Microsoft 365 Copilot helps block sensitive information such as PII, credit card numbers, and custom data types from being processed or used for web scraping. Generally available March 31.
