Security News > 2023 > October > Microsoft announces wider availability of AI-powered Security Copilot

"Security Copilot is an AI assistant for security teams that builds on the latest in large language models and harnesses Microsoft's security expertise and global threat intelligence to help security teams outpace their adversaries," said Vasu Jakkal, corporate vice president, security, compliance, identity, and management at Microsoft.

Available in private preview since March 2023, Security Copilot allows security analysts to submit prompts in natural language, much like ChatGPT, to get actionable responses and simplify threat hunting.

Finally, Security Copilot can also help with security posture management, as it helps pinpoint whether the organization is susceptible to known vulnerabilities and exploits.

"Security Copilot is already helping our preview customers save up to 40 percent of their time on core security operations tasks with capabilities such as writing complex queries based only on natural language questions and summarizing security incidents," Jakkal claims.

Security Copilot will integrate with the company's XDR platform - Microsoft 365 Defender - and use provided information and insights to help analysts investigate and remediate faster.

Organizations that work with Managed Security Service Providers and are in the Early Access Program will be able to extend access to their Security Copilot environment, allowing MSSPs to participate with them using Security Copilot," Jakkal noted.
