Inside M365 Copilot and Agents: Architecture, Plug-ins and Secure Deployment at Scale

The Microsoft Copilot ecosystem is rapidly evolving to help organizations deploy AI agents securely and at scale. With new capabilities such as Agent Identities in Microsoft Entra, Agent 365 for lifecycle management and emerging tools like Agent Builder and Cowork, organizations are moving quickly from experimentation to operational use.

In this interactive Insight Exchange, designed to help practitioners not only understand the technology, but also learn from each other’s experiences in deploying and securing AI agents at scale, IANS Faculty Shannon Lietz guides you through this rapidly changing environment while creating space for peer discussion and shared learning. Plus, bring your own use cases and walk away with a roadmap for how to start using Microsoft tools to meet your AI Governance needs.

• Break down how Copilot, agents, plug-ins, connectors and MCP servers actually work together through live architecture walkthroughs and group discussion on what is working in real environments
• Explore the shift from human-led workflows to agent-orchestrated work, including a facilitated discussion where attendees compare how roles, processes and decision making are changing across industries
• Work through practical deployment and security scenarios, where participants evaluate controls such as identity scoping, data access boundaries, plug-in risk, audit logging and abuse prevention in small-group exercises
