With the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, security professionals must respond to the increasing sophistication of cyber attackers who remain relentless and proficient. A global shortage of skilled security professionals further compounds the challenge, with an estimated 3.4 million openings in the field. To address these challenges, Microsoft has combined its leading security technologies with the latest advancements in AI to create the Microsoft Security Copilot. The Security Copilot is designed to enable defenders to operate at the speed and scale of AI, empowering security professionals to drive innovation and disrupt attackers’ traditional advantages.
The Microsoft Security Copilot is the first security product that deploys the power of AI to provide end-to-end defence at machine speed and scale. It incorporates an advanced large language model (LLM) and a security-specific model from Microsoft. This security-specific model is augmented with a learning system to create and tune new skills, improving the detection of security incidents, the speed of response, and the ability to strengthen security posture.
While Security Copilot is a closed-loop learning system that continually learns from users, the data remains within the control of each user. It also integrates with end-to-end Microsoft Security products, and over time it will expand to a growing ecosystem of third-party products.
Microsoft believes that security is a team sport, and human creativity and knowledge will always be necessary for defence. Security Copilot can augment security professionals with machine speed and scale so that human ingenuity is deployed where it matters most. Security Copilot boosts defenders’ skills with its ability to answer security-related questions and continually learn from user interactions.
In conclusion, the Microsoft Security Copilot is a unique product that empowers security professionals to drive innovation and respond to security incidents with machine speed and scale, allowing human ingenuity to be deployed where it matters most. The product aims to simplify the complex, catch what others miss, and address the talent gap while providing unrivalled security capabilities.
