Learn about Secure Web And AI Gateway for Microsoft Copilot Studio agents (preview)

Microsoft Entra Agent ID is part of Microsoft Agent 365. Both are available through the Frontier program in Microsoft 365. To access these features you must have a license for Microsoft 365 Copilot and have enabled Frontier for your users.

Follow the Frontier getting started guide or use the following steps to check if Frontier is enabled:

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center as a Billing Administrator.
  2. Browse to Copilot > Settings > User access > Copilot Frontier and make sure it's enabled for users. If you don't see these options, contact your administrator to check your Microsoft 365 Copilot licensing.

As organizations adopt autonomous and interactive AI agents to perform tasks previously handled by humans, administrators need visibility and control over agent network activity. Global Secure Access for agents provides network security controls for Microsoft Copilot Studio agents, enabling you to apply the same security policies to agents that you use for users.

With Global Secure Access for agents, you can regulate how agents use knowledge, tools, and actions to access external resources. You can apply network security policies including web content filtering, threat intelligence filtering, and network file filtering to agent traffic.

How network security for Copilot Studio agents works

To enforce network security controls on Copilot Studio agents, you forward agent traffic to Global Secure Access's globally distributed proxy service. You enable traffic forwarding in the Power Platform Admin Center on a per-environment or per-environment-group basis.

Agent traffic forwarding applies to multiple traffic types, including:

  • HTTP Node traffic
  • Custom connectors
  • MCP Server Connector

Once agent traffic is forwarded to Global Secure Access, you can apply security policies to the traffic. The service evaluates agent traffic against your configured security policies, similar to how it evaluates user traffic.

Security policies for agents

Security policies for agents are configured using the baseline profile in Global Secure Access. The baseline profile applies security policies at the tenant level, ensuring consistent security controls across all agent traffic.
