## Microsoft Entra product family
 
The Microsoft Entra product family spans identity, access, governance, and security. It covers secure end-to-end access for employees, customers, partners, workloads, and AI agents across any cloud environment.
 
### Establish Zero Trust access controls
 
 
**For example**, GitHub Actions need a workload identity to access Azure subscriptions to automate, customize, and execute software development workflows.
 
### Secure access for AI agents
 
#### Microsoft Entra Agent ID
 
[Microsoft Entra Agent ID](~/agent-id/what-is-microsoft-entra-agent-id.md) is an identity and security framework that extends Microsoft Entra capabilities to AI agents. As organizations deploy assistive, autonomous, and user-like agents, Agent ID provides purpose-built identity constructs to authenticate, authorize, govern, and protect these nonhuman identities at enterprise scale.
 
> **Scenario:** An organization deploys AI agents that access corporate data on behalf of users. Agent ID provides each agent with a governed identity, enforces least-privilege access, and maintains an audit trail of the agent's actions.
 
## Prepare your environment

The **Capabilities** category includes important settings that you should review.
 
- **Microsoft Entra objects to monitor**: Use the checkboxes to specify what the agent should monitor when making policy suggestions. By default the agent looks for both new users and applications in your tenant over the previous 24 hour period.
- **Agent capabilities**: By default, the Conditional Access Optimization Agent *can't create new policies*, even in report-only mode. You can change this setting so that the agent can create report-only policies on your behalf. With this setting enabled, an administrator must approve the new report-only policy before it's turned on. After reviewing the policy impact, you can turn on the policy directly from the agent experience or from Conditional Access.
- **Phased rollout**: When the agent creates a new policy in report-only mode and that policy meets the criteria for a phased rollout, the policy is rolled out in phases, so you can monitor the effect of the new policy. Phased rollout is on by default. For more information, see [Conditional Access Optimization Agent Phased Rollout](conditional-access-agent-optimization-phased-rollout.md).
