AI agent governance and security in practice
AI agent governance and security in practice
About the Webinar
AI agents are no longer just assistants. They can access business data, make decisions, trigger processes, and work independently alongside your people. As the number of agents in your organization grows, familiar questions surface — the same ones that emerge around users, applications, and cloud services:
Who owns the agents?
What data can they access?
How do you monitor what they do?
How do you ensure security, compliance, and auditability?
Without clear practices and a technical governance model, you can quickly end up with AI agent "shadow IT" where agents are deployed without visibility, ownership, or oversight. You also lose the possibility to scale agents safely and confidently across the business.
In this free webinar, Senior Consultant Tommi Lehmusto and Microsoft MVP Tatu Seppälä show you how to build a secure and governed foundation for AI agent adoption. You'll also learn how to utilize Microsoft’s latest governance, security, and compliance capabilities for this.
The first part of the webinar is designed for business and IT decision-makers. The second part takes a deeper dive into practical implementation and technical solutions from the perspectives of IT, security, and architecture. Webinar is organized in English.
