Summary: Microsoft frames internally deployed agents as active enterprise participants that need identities, containers, permissions and continuous cross-layer observation. Its Project Perception vision combines signals from identity, data, endpoint, network, cloud and runtime to assess risk before actions, contain behavior and preserve traceability. The article describes an approach, not independently measured deployment outcomes or universal controls.
Why it matters: Turn the control sequence into a read-only review skill: identify the agent and intended task, gather current signals, compare proposed action with permissions, and return allow, contain or escalate. Keep enforcement external and require practitioner judgment for ambiguous risk.
