What Is Microsoft Security Copilot? Should You Use It?

Microsoft 365

April 08, 2024•4 min read

Keeping up with the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape is challenging. Companies need to process large amounts of data and respond to incidents quickly and effectively. Managing an organization's security posture is complex. That's where Microsoft Security Copilot comes in.

Microsoft Security Copilot is a generative AI-powered security solution that provides tailored insights to empower your team to defend your network. It works with other Microsoft security products and integrates with natural language to generate tailored guidance and insights. Here’s a closer look at Microsoft Security Copilot and whether it's the right choice to enhance your digital defenses.

What Is Microsoft Security Copilot?

Microsoft Security Copilot is a cutting-edge cybersecurity tool that leverages the power of AI and machine learning for threat detection and response. It aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of cybersecurity operations (Microsoft). It helps security teams respond to cyber threats, process signals, and assess risk exposure at machine speed. A significant benefit is its integration with natural language, allowing users to ask questions plainly to generate tailored guidance and insights.

Security Copilot can assist with end-to-end scenarios such as incident response, threat hunting, intelligence gathering, posture management, and providing executive summaries on security investigations.

How Does Microsoft Security Copilot Work?

You can access Microsoft Security Copilot capabilities through a standalone experience or embedded experiences available in other Microsoft security products. Copilot integrates with several tools, including:

Microsoft Sentinel
Microsoft Defender XDR
Microsoft Intune
Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence
Microsoft Entra
Microsoft Purview
Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management
Microsoft Defender for Cloud

Using natural language prompts with Security Copilot makes it easy to ask for information or guidance on various security topics (Microsoft Mechanics). For example, you can ask:

What are the best practices for securing Azure workloads?
What is the impact of CVE-2024-23905 on my organization?
Generate a report on the latest attack campaign.
How do I remediate an incident involving TrickBot malware?

"CMIT has given me peace of mind in my business by providing me with ongoing protection, monitoring and an invaluable resource of providing technical help 24/7 if needed. They have assisted me with various technical needs in my business and I appreciate small businesses supporting other small businesses in our community."

Swiss Learning Center

"CMIT sent Leslie out to deal with my computer issue - which she handled so fast I can't remember now what it was! Leslie was patient, informative, and engaged me with confidence and relief. She did not talk down to me as if I didn't have a modicum of sense - electronically - but instead was in a teaching mode. I'm so glad to know I can call CMIT whenever I have a problem and allay my fear!"

Shari

"Every business NEEDS Carmen and Jaime with CMIT Solutions. They have taken my business to the next level and I am so grateful to have them on our team. It's like having our own personal IT department. We are more productive, more professional, and ready to worry about things other than IT. As a construction company - it is not in our wheelhouse to manage this side of the business and as a small business it's not super easy to know who to contact. They are affordable and knowledgeable and can easily take any business to where they envision. They come with my highest recommendation."
