How Agent 365 and Windows 365 for Agents Enable Secure Governed Control and Execution for Enterprise AI! Organisations can now use AI agents to do real work, even in applications that don’t have proper APIs, by letting them operate through a secure Windows environment just like a human would. Instead of being limited to backend automation, agents can see screens, follow UI steps, and handle complex scenarios. At the same time, everything they do is controlled, monitored, and secured using enterprise policies so businesses get more powerful automation without losing trust, visibility, or compliance.

Secure and Managed Cloud PCs for AI Agents
Cloud PCs for agents can run Windows (with Linux coming soon) and are fully set up with company security and management. They are connected to Entra ID, managed by Intune, follow company policies, and track all activities. This means security, access control, and monitoring are already in place from day one.
