Insights

Product Governance Analyst

AvePoint launched AgentPulse to give centralized visibility and cost controls for agentic AI, now in private preview.

AvePoint adds an AI agent registry to the Confidence Platform that inventories agents, shows usage and data access, and flags high-activity agents for cost review. The feature targets governance gaps by consolidating visibility across multiple agent types including Microsoft 365 Toolkits, Copilot Studio variants, SharePoint, and Azure AI Foundry, and it is available in private preview as of Nov 18, 2025.

Key dependencies and risks include adoption by IT/security teams, accuracy of detection for sensitive-file access, and integration depth with the listed agent sources; success depends on operational rollout and customer validation. The announcement cites research metrics of 75% breached organizations using AI and Gartner's 40% abandoned agentic projects by end of 2027, which frame the problem but do not validate product efficacy.

Watch adoption signals over the next 3–12 months: number of preview customers, integrations completed, and any documented remediation outcomes or cost reductions once customers deploy AgentPulse. Those milestones will show whether the product moves governance from visibility to measurable risk and cost control.

AgentPulse adds to AvePoint’s growing AI agent governance capabilities in the Confidence Platform, providing more visibility to reduce security risks and costs

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AvePoint (Nasdaq: AVPT; SGX: AVP), the global leader in data security, governance, and resilience, today announced the launch of AvePoint AgentPulse Command Center. AgentPulse is an AI agent registry that enables organizations to track AI agents in one place, increasing security and cost efficiency as the security threats and expenses associated with agentic AI continue to rise. The addition of AgentPulse to the AvePoint Confidence Platform gives organizations and partners an unparalleled ability to manage risk across their digital work environments.

"As organizations rapidly deploy AI agents to drive productivity, they're discovering that these powerful tools introduce significant security and data governance challenges that legacy IT controls weren't designed to address," said Jeremy Thake, Chief Architect, AvePoint. "As part of the Confidence Platform, AgentPulse delivers comprehensive visibility so IT and security teams can confidently scale agentic AI and further innovation, without compromising data security or racking up extra costs."

The release of AgentPulse comes as AI-related security risks continue to rise. According to AvePoint's research, 75% of organizations that use AI have experienced a data breach in the last year, and Gartner predicts that 40% of agentic AI projects could be abandoned by the end of 2027 due to inadequate risk controls and related challenges. AgentPulse is designed to solve these issues by giving organizations total visibility into the security posture of agentic AI tools, showing organizations which AI agents are most active, who is using them, and what sensitive files they can access, all in a single integrated view. Once oversharing instances are identified, organizations can quickly and easily rectify the problem directly in the AvePoint Confidence Platform.

AgentPulse is also designed to address the growing financial expense associated with AI agents. By highlighting high activity AI agents – including those generating frequent interactions or accessing large amounts of data – organizations can better understand where agents may be driving costs, allowing them to review, adjust, or remove unnecessary AI agents and avoid unexpected charges.

"The financial implications of unmanaged agentic AI extend far beyond licensing costs," said John Peluso, Chief Technology Officer, AvePoint. "Without dedicated oversight, organizations can quickly find themselves with unexpected charges from high-activity AI agents, storage costs from redundant or obsolete data accessed by AI agents, and the potentially catastrophic expense of a data breach. AgentPulse transforms AI governance from a reactive cost center into a proactive business enabler, helping organizations optimize their AI investments while maintaining the security posture their stakeholders demand."

AgentPulse is the latest expansion in AvePoint’s agentic AI governance capabilities and comes on the heels of an October update to the Confidence Platform that streamlines compliance enforcement for AI agents. The release of AgentPulse means that organizations now have access to even more AI governance features and visibility across multiple AI agent types including: Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit, Microsoft 365 Copilot Studio and Copilot Studio Lite, SharePoint, Azure AI Foundry, ISV Store, and more.

AgentPulse is available to customers in private preview. To access the preview, visit: https://www.avepoint.com/solutions/ai-agent-governance-and-security.
