A hands-on session on securing AI agents in Microsoft 365.
AI agents are becoming a more familiar part of everyday work inside Microsoft 365. They can automate routine tasks, support decision-making, and help teams work more efficiently. Useful, certainly. Though in the public sector, they also bring a few important questions that deserve careful answers.
How do you maintain oversight? Where do governance, security, and compliance risks emerge? And what does responsible adoption actually look like once AI agents move beyond pilot projects and into day-to-day operations?
In this webinar, CWSI and Microsoft explore how public sector organisations can adopt AI agents with confidence while maintaining the control, visibility, and accountability that citizens and regulators expect.
Through practical discussion, live demonstrations, and real-world examples, this session examines the realities of securing AI agents within Microsoft 365 environments.
In this session you’ll learn:
1
Why identity and access management has become a critical foundation for secure AI adoption.
2
Where security, governance, and compliance risks typically emerge
3
What effective control and oversight look like in practice
4
How Microsoft security and compliance capabilities support secure AI adoption
5
Answers to the questions public sector teams are already asking
6
Practical guidance for adopting AI agents with greater confidence and clarity
