Microsoft has introduced the integration of AI-supported services in the field of cybersecurity. Trained in security and network disciplines, Microsoft Security Copilot is armed with trillions of data signals. This should give SOCs and cyber defense systems a head start in terms of speed and effectiveness.
Microsoft Security Copilot gives security professionals an easy-to-use AI wizard to quickly identify and respond to threats. He combines Microsoft's extensive threat data with industry-leading expertise to better understand the overall threat landscape. Security Copilot helps admins monitor what's happening in their environment and is designed to work seamlessly with security teams. It can learn from existing information, correlate threat activity, and make informed, efficient decisions at machine speed.
Simplify complexity and react purposefully

With more than 1.200 password attacks per second on average, fragmented tools and infrastructure are no longer enough to stop attackers. While the number of attacks has increased by 67% over the past five years, the security industry has not been able to hire enough cyber risk professionals to keep up. This has left security professionals at times overwhelmed trying to spot well-disguised attacks in growing network traffic and other signals.
Security Copilot simplifies the complexity and expands the capabilities of security teams by consolidating threat intelligence and making it easy for them to understand, allowing those responsible to drill through the immense noise floor of Internet signals to identify malicious activity. It also helps security teams see what they otherwise overlook by prioritizing the correlated and aggregated attack data and recommending the best course of action. Thus, various threats could be eliminated in time.
Expanding the expertise of security teams
Security Copilot is constantly evolving and improving to ensure security teams are operating with the latest knowledge of attackers, their tactics, techniques and procedures. The product provides continuous access to the most advanced OpenAI models to support demanding security tasks and applications. Insight into the threats is made possible both by the security data of the customer company and by Microsoft's extensive threat analysis.
With these capabilities, security teams of all sizes can leverage the knowledge and skills of far larger organizations. In addition, Security Copilot helps address the cybersecurity skills shortage by filling knowledge gaps and improving workflows, threat actor profiles and incident reporting across teams.
Based on industry-leading threat data
Microsoft Security actively tracks more than 50 ransomware criminal organizations and more than 250 individual nation-state cybercriminals, receiving 65 trillion threat signals every day. Microsoft technology blocks more than 25,6 billion attempts to steal passwords every second. Compared to other companies, over 8.000 security experts at Microsoft analyze security signals - on average, analysts at Microsoft's Security Operations Center use over 100 different data sources.
Through acquisitions like RiskIQ and Miburo, Microsoft has a wealth of information from threat actors. Security Copilot also natively integrates with a growing list of Microsoft security products such as Sentinel and Defender.
