Secure agentic AI end-to-end

According to Microsoft Security Blog, RSAC 2026 will celebrate its 35-year anniversary as a forum for the security community to address new challenges and opportunities in the field of agentic AI. The piece notes that agentic AI is reshaping industries, with 80% of Fortune 500 companies reportedly using agents, a claim tied to recent Microsoft research.

It highlights that Microsoft is launching a range of capabilities to help organisations secure agents, their foundations, and the use of agents and experts, including Agent 365, which will be generally available on May 1 and acts as the control plane for agents. The article also underscores the importance of securing identities, data, and AI workflows, detailing new Purview and Entra features and the expansion of Defender and Sentinel to support an ambient, autonomous security model.

Fueled by more than 100 trillion daily signals, Microsoft Security helps protect 1.6 million customers, one billion identities, and 24 billion Copilot interactions.
