Microsoft 365 E7 + Agent 365
Register, approve, observe, and secure every AI agent. Copilot in the flow of work; Defender, Sentinel, Entra, and Purview across identity, threats, and data.
Microsoft 365 E7 + Agent 365, powered by Tanium
From AI pilots to governed production,
with proof on every endpoint.
Enterprises are deploying Copilot and AI agents faster than IT and security can govern them. Microsoft 365 E7 gives you the control plane. Tanium gives it the real-time endpoint visibility that makes the AI security stack work, and governs shadow AI.

THE GAP NO SINGLE VENDOR FILLS ALONE
Microsoft brings the intelligence. Tanium brings the ground truth.
Every AI agent runs on an endpoint. If you can’t see the endpoint in real time, you can’t govern the agent on it. That is the gap the Tanium and Microsoft combination closes.

Real-time endpoint visibility, compliance, vulnerability and patch execution, and remediation in seconds, the verified endpoint truth the stack runs on.
WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE TOGETHER
3 breakthrough scenarios for AI agent governance
Govern AI agentsprawl
Agent 365 governs agents in the cloud; Tanium validates the real-time health of every endpoint they run on, closing the gap agent sprawl creates.
Accelerate SOC response
High-fidelity endpoint telemetry into Microsoft Sentinel, with endpoint containment triggered by Sentinel and Security Copilot, detection to remediation in one flow.
Secure AI transformation
Purview, Entra, and Defender defend cloud and identity. Tanium keeps every endpoint running Copilot or an agent patched, compliant, and free of shadow AI.
THE MARKET IS MOVING NOW
The agentic era is arriving faster than most security teams can govern it. In a post-Mythos world, the window to exploit a new vulnerability has collapsed from about 125 days to under 12 hours (Cogent Research, 2026), and periodic, cloud-only defense cannot keep pace.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
How Microsoft and Tanium fit your stack
How do Microsoft 365 E7 and Tanium work together?
E7 and Agent 365 provide the control plane that registers, approves, and monitors AI agents. Tanium provides the real-time endpoint ground truth, which agents are running, on which devices, and whether those devices are compliant.
How is Tanium different from Microsoft Intune?
Intune manages devices and policy. Tanium operates at a different speed layer: real-time query and remediation in seconds across every endpoint, including unmanaged and legacy devices.
How does Tanium integrate with Microsoft Security Copilot, Defender, and Sentinel?
Tanium feeds high-fidelity endpoint telemetry into Sentinel and Defender, and executes endpoint containment triggered by Sentinel playbooks or Security Copilot. Tanium agents register through the Agent 365 SDK.
How do I govern unsanctioned (shadow) AI agents?
Start with real-time visibility. Tanium surfaces shadow AI on the endpoint; Agent 365 brings it under lifecycle governance.
Do I need to upgrade from Microsoft E5 to E7?
E7 includes Agent 365 at no additional per-seat cost, making it the natural path for E5 customers governing a growing agent fleet.
How do I secure my environment in a post-Mythos world?
AI has compressed exploit development from about 125 days to under 12 hours, so periodic, cloud-only defense leaves a widening gap. The answer is speed at the endpoint. Microsoft 365 E7 governs the agents and the cloud, and Tanium delivers the real-time visibility and remediation in seconds needed to close exposures before they are exploited.
What are the security risks of AI agents?
New risks come with agents: prompt injection, data oversharing, and agent identity compromise. Microsoft Purview, Entra, and Defender address the cloud and identity layers; Tanium keeps every endpoint running an agent patched, compliant, and free of shadow AI.
How do I get more value from my Microsoft 365 E7 investment?
Tanium turns E5 and E7 licensing into governed, measurable AI outcomes: real-time endpoint visibility, device compliance for Conditional Access, and remediation in seconds.
How does Tanium help my SOC respond faster?
Tanium feeds high-fidelity endpoint data into Microsoft Sentinel and Defender and executes remediation in seconds, closing the endpoint response gap and reducing mean time to respond from days to minutes.
