This webinar explores the critical need for scalable governance as organizations rapidly integrate agentic AI into their core business strategies. Industry experts examine the primary risks of this new frontier—including agent sprawl, data exposure, and unforeseen costs—while providing a roadmap for maintaining control. The session features a detailed comparison between Microsoft’s native Agent 365 controls and AvePoint’s Confidence Platform, demonstrating how they work together to secure the agentic workforce. Attendees will learn how to transition from AI experimentation to safe, enterprise-wide operations by grounding their agents in business context and automated lifecycles.
Webinar Key Learnings:
- Proactive Risk Management is Essential: Organizations must address the "Big Four" risks of agentic AI: agent sprawl from ungoverned creation, sensitive data exposure through incorrect permissions, unpredictable costs from API calls, and misinformation caused by poor grounding.
- Contextual Governance Drives Confidence: Effective governance requires more than just technical visibility; it necessitates capturing business context—such as an agent's specific purpose, criticality, and sensitivity—to ensure it remains "in-check" throughout its lifecycle.
- Complementary Solutions for Full Visibility: While Microsoft Agent 365 provides native administrative controls and interoperability, AvePoint’s Confidence Platform extends these capabilities by surfacing unpublished or "shadow" agents and automating the complete digital lifecycle from creation to defensible deletion
