MS Security Copilot

Microsoft Security Copilot is an AI-powered security operations assistant that combines GPT-4 with Microsoft's massive threat intelligence dataset to help security teams investigate, respond to, and remediate threats faster.

• Incident investigation — Summarize security incidents, correlate alerts across products, and identify the full scope of an attack
• Natural language queries — Write KQL queries from plain English descriptions to hunt for threats
• Script analysis — Deobfuscate and analyze suspicious scripts, PowerShell commands, and malware samples
• Threat intelligence — Tap into Microsoft's global threat telemetry from billions of signals processed daily
• Remediation guidance — Get step-by-step remediation recommendations for identified vulnerabilities
• Report generation — Auto-generate executive and technical incident reports for stakeholders

SOC analysts use Security Copilot to triage alerts faster and reduce investigation time from hours to minutes. Threat hunters write complex queries without memorizing KQL syntax. Security leaders generate board-ready reports from raw incident data.

Security Copilot integrates natively with Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, Intune, and Entra ID. Learn more at microsoft.com.
