Silverfort has announced a new integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio aimed at strengthening identity security for enterprise AI agents. The integration introduces runtime identity enforcement capabilities that evaluate and control AI agent access requests in real time before execution, helping organizations reduce risks associated with unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and AI-driven workflow abuse.
As enterprises accelerate adoption of AI agents and low-code automation tools, the announcement reflects growing industry focus on securing identity and access management within agentic AI environments.

The integration enables Silverfort to enforce runtime identity security controls for AI agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio. According to the company, every time an AI agent attempts to access a tool, retrieve enterprise data, or trigger a workflow, Silverfort evaluates the request in real time before the action is executed.
The company stated that this approach helps prevent unauthorized access attempts, privilege escalation, and unintended actions within enterprise AI environments.
"The more access an AI agent has to corporate resources, the more powerful, it becomes. Without deep identity context, there's no way to make an informed, real-time decision about whether an agent's action is legitimate or overreach. That's why agentic security is an identity problem at its core," said Ron Rasin, Chief Strategy Officer at Silverfort. "Silverfort's integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio is a recognition that runtime identity enforcement isn't optional, it's the foundation for deploying AI with confidence."
Silverfort said its runtime enforcement capabilities are designed to address emerging risks associated with AI agents operating across cloud and on-premises environments.
AI agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio can authenticate users, retrieve enterprise data, execute workflows, and interact with enterprise systems. Each interaction can involve multiple identity layers, including human users, machine identities, and third-party systems.
The company highlighted growing enterprise adoption of AI agents, citing Microsoft data indicating that more than 80% of Fortune 500 companies are deploying active AI agents built with low-code or no-code tools, while 29% of employees reportedly use unsanctioned AI agents for work-related tasks.
"Silverfort's integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio extends security into the moment of access itself," said Ankur Arora, Principal Group PM Manager, Microsoft. "This isn't visibility after the fact. It's inline, runtime enforcement that evaluates and controls every agent's access requests before they execute."
Silverfort stated that enterprises often operate multiple AI agent ecosystems simultaneously, creating fragmented security and governance challenges.
The company’s identity security platform extends beyond Microsoft Copilot Studio to provide centralized visibility and policy enforcement across:
The integration aligns with Silverfort’s broader strategy of positioning identity as the primary control layer for enterprise AI security.
Silverfort noted that identity governance is becoming increasingly important as organizations move from AI experimentation to operational deployment.
The company currently analyzes more than 10 billion authentications daily across over 1,000 organizations globally, including several Fortune 50 enterprises. Silverfort also stated that it continues investing in AI-focused security research, including technologies designed to detect prompt injection and jailbreak attempts using recursive language modeling (RLM).
As organizations scale AI adoption, runtime identity enforcement and centralized governance are becoming critical components of enterprise AI security strategies.
