How Microsoft Security Copilot Is Changing Security Monitoring

Learn about Microsoft Security Copilot, an AI-powered security analysis tool that allows you to respond to threats and assess risk exposure in minutes.

Security professionals are grappling with an overwhelming volume of data, a shortage of skilled analysts, and ever-evolving cyber threats. To address these challenges, security teams need tools that can automate, prioritize, and streamline their tasks.

Introducing Microsoft Security Copilot

This AI-powered security analysis tool empowers analysts to respond swiftly to threats, process signals at machine speed, and assess risk exposure in minutes. Leveraging the capabilities of OpenAI’s GPT-4 generative AI and Microsoft’s security-specific model, Security Copilot incorporates a growing set of security skills and global threat intelligence.

How Microsoft Security Copilot Is Changing Security Monitoring

Microsoft Security Copilot can help security teams in various scenarios, including:

Next-Level Incident Response

Security Copilot empowers analysts to investigate incidents more efficiently by generating queries, insights, and recommendations based on natural language prompts. For instance, an analyst can ask, “Show me the timeline of events for this alert,” or “Explain why this device is compromised.” Additionally, it helps analysts create comprehensive incident reports by summarizing key findings and actions.

Proactive Threat Hunting

Security Copilot enables analysts to proactively hunt for threats by generating hypotheses, queries, and alerts based on natural language prompts. For example, an analyst can ask, “Find me devices with unusual network activity” or “Show me indicators of ransomware activity.” Furthermore, Security Copilot helps analysts validate their hypotheses by providing relevant evidence and context.

Effective Security Reporting

Security Copilot assists analysts in effectively communicating their security posture and performance by generating reports, dashboards, and presentations based on natural language prompts. For instance, an analyst can ask, “Create a monthly report on the top security incidents” or “Show me a dashboard of the security health score.” Security Copilot also facilitates customization of reports by adding charts, tables, and images.

How Security Copilot Integrates With Microsoft Security Products 

Security Copilot is a web-based tool that runs on Azure’s hyper-scale infrastructure. It integrates with Microsoft’s security products, such as Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, and Microsoft Intune, to access data and signals from various sources. Security Copilot also leverages Microsoft’s unique global threat intelligence and more than 65 trillion daily signals to enrich its analysis. 

Security Copilot uses a closed-loop learning system that continually learns from user feedback and improves over time. Users can also provide feedback to Security Copilot using the built-in feedback feature or rating its responses. They can also collaborate using the pinboard feature, allowing them to share information and insights. 

Security Copilot is designed to assist a security analyst’s work rather than replace it. It’s a natively integrated tool to validate content from a threat perspective, including alert summaries and compromised content reputations. Security Copilot does not make decisions or act on the user’s behalf. It neither stores user data nor signals outside the user’s Microsoft 365 tenant. Users have complete control over their data and can delete it anytime.
