Addressing the OWASP Top 10 Risks in Agentic AI with Microsoft Copilot Studio

Agentic AI is moving from pilots to production, and the security conversation now spans development and operation as agents can access data, invoke tools, and act with delegated identities. The blog summarises the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (2026), outlining ten failure modes that can yield bad outcomes even when outputs appear correct, then shows practical mitigations grounded in Microsoft Copilot Studio and Agent 365.

It notes that Microsoft’s Red Team helped review the list, with individuals such as Pete Bryan and Daniel Jones contributing to the review board. Copilot Studio is presented as a secure foundation to build and govern agents, restricting actions to predefined capabilities and isolating agent environments to prevent unsafe code execution, unsafe tool invocation, and uncontrolled dependencies.

Governance extends into operation via Agent 365, which will be generally available on 1 May, offering visibility, policy enforcement, and protection capabilities for agentic AI, including identity and data controls and threat detection for issues such as prompt injection, tool misuse, and compromised agents. The piece emphasises that organisations should treat agents as privileged applications with continuous oversight and lifecycle governance to manage risk as adoption grows.
