RSA Security strengthens identity security for enterprises adopting Microsoft’s NEW AI-powered subscription model.

The enterprise technology landscape is entering a new phase, one where AI agents and digital workers operate alongside human employees.

Don’t take our word for it. Gartner predicted 33% of enterprise apps will include agentic AI by 2028, up from less than 1% in 2024. Other research shows non-human identities outnumber human users 17X.

Microsoft’s announcement of Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite represents a major step toward this future. By combining Microsoft 365 productivity, Microsoft Copilot AI capabilities, Entra identity services, and the new Agent 365 governance platform, Microsoft is creating a unified environment designed to power the next generation of intelligent workplaces.

At RSA, we see this moment as an important evolution in how organizations must think about identity security.

Because when AI agents begin interacting with enterprise systems, accessing data, and executing automated workflows, organizations must ask how they can ensure that both human users and AI agents are trusted?

The rise of the AI workforce

The introduction of Agent 365 signals a shift toward enterprises operating with significant numbers of AI agents performing tasks across business systems.

These agents may:

  • Access internal applications
  • Interact with sensitive data
  • Execute privileged operations
  • Act autonomously within business workflows

As this model evolves, identity security becomes even more critical. Just like human users, every interaction between an AI agent, a user, and a corporate system must be trusted, authenticated, and governed.

Microsoft 365 E7 Frontier Suite provides the platform

Microsoft 365 E7: Frontier Suite delivers the foundation organizations need to enable AI-driven productivity. The new solution includes:

  • Microsoft 365 E5 collaboration and productivity tools
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot AI capabilities
  • Microsoft Entra identity services
  • Microsoft Agent 365 for AI agent governance

Together, these capabilities help organizations deploy AI across the enterprise in a consistent and scalable way.

RSA provides the identity trust layer

While Microsoft delivers the AI platform, RSA strengthens the identity trust layer that protects that platform.

RSA solutions help organizations ensure that both human identities and AI agents interacting with enterprise systems are trusted and secure.

RSA ID Plus for Microsoft provides:

  1. High-Assurance Authentication: RSA enables phishing-resistant and passwordless authentication, ensuring employees and administrators accessing AI-powered systems are strongly verified.
  2. Identity Risk Intelligence: RSA Risk AI evaluates contextual risk signals to help organizations detect and prevent suspicious access attempts before systems are compromised.
  3. Secure Access to Enterprise Systems: RSA solutions protect privileged and sensitive system access as AI agents begin executing automated tasks across enterprise infrastructure.
Enabling Trusted AI adoption

The future enterprise will operate with a blend of humans, software services, and autonomous AI agents working together. This evolution creates enormous productivity potential, but it also introduces new security challenges.

Organizations must ensure:

  1. Trusted authentication for human users
  2. Verified identities for AI agents
  3. Secure access to enterprise systems
  4. Continuous identity risk monitoring

By combining Microsoft 365 E7 with RSA’s identity security capabilities, organizations can confidently move forward into the era of the AI workforce.

Looking ahead

As enterprises adopt AI technologies like Microsoft Copilot and Agent 365, the role of identity security will only grow in importance.

RSA is committed to helping organizations secure the identities behind every interaction human or machine, across the AI-driven enterprise.

Together with Microsoft, RSA enables organizations to unlock the power of AI while maintaining the strong security posture required in today’s evolving threat landscape.
