AI agent identity control, Silverfort Microsoft Copilot Studio integration, strengthens enterprise security by enforcing runtime access decisions for AI agents operating within Microsoft’s Copilot ecosystem.
Silverfort has announced a new integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio to extend identity-based security controls to AI agents. The capability focuses on securing agent-driven actions across enterprise environments in real time.
The integration enables organizations to apply runtime identity enforcement before AI agents execute actions. It ensures every access request is validated against identity context and security policies.
Silverfort stated that AI agents gain increasing power as they access more corporate systems. However, without identity context, organizations cannot reliably determine whether an action is legitimate or represents overreach.
The company emphasized that agentic security must be treated as an identity problem. It highlighted the need for continuous enforcement during AI agent execution rather than after-the-fact monitoring.
Ron Rasin, Chief Strategy Officer at Silverfort, said identity context is essential for safe AI deployment. He noted that runtime enforcement forms the foundation for secure agentic AI adoption.
“The more access an AI agent has to corporate resources, the more powerful, it becomes. Without deep identity context, there’s no way to make an informed, real-time decision about whether an agent’s action is legitimate or overreach. That’s why agentic security is an identity problem at its core,” said Ron Rasin, Chief Strategy Officer at Silverfort. “Silverfort’s integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio is a recognition that runtime identity enforcement isn’t optional, it’s the foundation for deploying AI with confidence.”
Microsoft also highlighted the importance of enforcing access controls at the moment of execution. The integration focuses on inline security rather than retrospective visibility.
Ankur Arora, Principal Group PM Manager at Microsoft, said the system evaluates every request before execution. He emphasized that this approach strengthens trust in AI agent operations.
“Silverfort’s integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio extends security into the moment of access itself,” said Ankur Arora, Principal Group PM Manager, Microsoft. “This isn’t visibility after the fact. It’s inline, runtime enforcement that evaluates and controls every agent’s access requests before they execute.”
The collaboration aims to improve enterprise confidence in deploying AI agents across sensitive systems. It ensures tighter governance and control over automated actions within Copilot Studio environments.
The announcement reinforces growing industry focus on identity-centric security frameworks for agentic AI systems.For related updates on digital trust and cybersecurity, explore our SOC News.
