Start with real-time visibility into every endpoint an agent runs on, then layer identity, data, and lifecycle controls through Microsoft 365 E7 and Agent 365. The playbook lays out the full 4-phase plan. What is the first step to controlling shadow AI? You cannot govern agents on devices you cannot see, so step one is real-time endpoint discovery. Tanium surfaces unsanctioned AI on the endpoint before it becomes risk, and the playbook shows how to operationalize it. How do Microsoft 365 E7 and Tanium work together to govern agents? E7 and Agent 365 register, approve, and monitor agents; Tanium verifies the real-time health and compliance of the endpoints they run on. The playbook includes the Microsoft and Tanium reference architecture on one page. What KPIs prove AI agent governance is working? Track endpoint coverage, device compliance, time to remediate, and shadow-AI reduction, among others. The playbook details 6 KPIs you can put in front of leadership. How do I take AI agents from pilot to production safely? Move in phases, discover, govern, secure, and scale, with endpoint ground truth at each step. The playbook maps the path for Microsoft-stack enterprises. ###### BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD ## Not sure where your exposure is hiding?
