Zenity, a leader in AI agent security, has deepened its collaboration with Microsoft to embed native, inline threat prevention directly into Copilot Studio. The integration enables enterprises to securely scale AI agent deployment across departments — blocking data exfiltration, prompt injections, and policy violations in real time, from build to runtime. Available now in public preview via Azure Marketplace.
Securing the AI Agent Lifecycle — From Build to Runtime
As enterprises rapidly adopt agentic AI to automate workflows, security has lagged behind innovation. Zenity’s expanded integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio changes that — embedding security controls directly into each AI agent’s execution flow.
Unlike traditional perimeter-based or post-deployment monitoring tools, Zenity now operates inline within Copilot Studio agents. This means security is enforced at the moment of action — whether an agent accesses a CRM system, invokes an MCP server, sends an email, or interacts with internal business apps. Threats like direct/indirect prompt injections, secret leaks, and unauthorized data transfers are intercepted before execution.
The platform provides end-to-end protection: securing agent design during development, enforcing policies during deployment, and monitoring behavior in real time — all without disrupting user productivity.
Key Capabilities: Real-Time Prevention, Policy Enforcement & Visibility
This native integration delivers three core enterprise-grade security functions:
- Real-Time Threat Disruption
Zenity analyzes intent and behavior signals before an agent action completes — blocking risky operations like unauthorized API calls or data exports. - Step-Level Policy Enforcement
Every agent action is evaluated against enterprise policies. Microsoft and Zenity provide full execution context, enabling automated governance for compliance (e.g., GDPR, SOC 2, internal data handling rules). - Continuous Enterprise Visibility
Security teams gain centralized oversight of all Copilot Studio agents — with intelligent threat reasoning, activity logs, and risk scoring across departments.
“This integration marks a major step forward in enabling secure and scalable AI innovation for enterprises,” said Shay Gadidi, VP of Product Management at Zenity. “By embedding security into the agent’s behavior layer, businesses can innovate without sacrificing control.”
“Together, we’re empowering business users and developers to build safely,” added Shay Gurman, VP of Microsoft Copilot Studio. “Security and governance are now native to the agent experience — not an afterthought.”
Enterprise Benefits: Scale, Safety, and Speed
Organizations can now confidently expand Copilot Studio adoption beyond IT and security teams — enabling HR, marketing, finance, and operations to build custom AI agents while adhering to centralized security policies.
Key business outcomes include:
- ✅ Cross-Departmental Scaling — Enable non-technical teams to build agents without compromising governance.
- ✅ Inline Attack Prevention — Block data exfiltration, prompt injections, and credential misuse without workflow interruption.
- ✅ Behavioral Insight & Configuration Assurance — Understand how agents are built, what tools they access, and whether they comply — accelerating secure deployment.
This collaboration doesn’t just add a security layer — it redefines how AI agents are governed. Security becomes intrinsic to the agent’s logic, not bolted on.
Availability & Next Steps
The Zenity-Microsoft Copilot Studio integration is now available in public preview via the Zenity listing on Azure Marketplace . Enterprises can begin testing inline AI agent security immediately — with no code changes or infrastructure overhaul required.
As AI agents become core to digital transformation, embedding security at the point of action isn’t optional — it’s essential. With Zenity and Microsoft, enterprises gain the control they need to innovate at speed, without increasing risk.
