Kaizen and Microsoft Agent 365

Agent 365 and Kaizen solve different halves of enterprise agent security and are designed to work together.

Agent 365 is Microsoft's control plane for agents: a registry of the agents in your tenant, Entra Agent ID for identity, access governance, Purview for data governance, and Defender signals. It governs who an agent is, what it may access, and its lifecycle.

Kaizen is the runtime behavioral sensor. It is framework and platform agnostic, runs in your tenant, and watches what each agent actually does against its learned norm and what you declared. Where Agent 365 manages identity and access, Kaizen answers a different question: is this agent, right now, behaving like itself?

	Agent 365	Kaizen
Agent registry and identity (Entra Agent ID)	yes	no
Access governance and lifecycle	yes	no
Data governance (Purview)	yes	no
Per-agent runtime behavioral baseline	no	yes
Catch an action outside the agent's norm	no	yes
Reasoning check on a sequence	no	yes

The two compose cleanly. Agent 365 is the governance and identity plane; Kaizen is the runtime behavior detection that feeds it. Kaizen exports its verdicts into the Microsoft stack over Sentinel and Defender, so an agent that starts acting outside its purpose surfaces in the same security view your team already uses for Agent 365. Govern identity and access with Agent 365, and detect runtime behavior with Kaizen.
