Session Abstract

Agents are being created faster than most organizations can track them. Some deliver value. Others introduce risk. Some appear outside established processes, with unclear ownership and expanding permissions. This session frames agent governance as an operational response problem rather than a policy discussion. Using Agent 365 as the operational control system, we walk through how organizations can detect, assess, and respond to uncontrolled agent deployment and growth. Over a series of evolving scenarios, the audience becomes part of a simulated response team. As new agent situations emerge, attendees make decisions that affect visibility, access control, lifecycle management, and containment. The outcomes of those decisions are demonstrated in real time. Through practical examples, the session shows how Agent 365 supports monitoring, ownership assignment, access enforcement, and ongoing administration of agents already in production. The focus is on maintaining speed and autonomy for builders while giving organizations the controls needed to operate safely at scale.
