Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant offers great opportunities for helping SOCs and other security professionals in their work. That's why the Microsoft Defender Experts team has been exploring ways in which Copilot for Security can help them to streamline and optimize SOC capabilities — from improving communication clarity to data analysis and upskilling.
In this article, Microsoft brings you a new series of short videos showing how Copilot is helping navigate threat detection, investigation, and managed response.
What is Microsoft Copilot for Security?
Microsoft Copilot for Security is a tool designed to enhance the daily operations of security teams, particularly the Microsoft Defender Experts. It helps streamline tasks such as threat detection, investigation, and incident response, allowing teams to work more efficiently. By integrating generative AI, it provides immediate support in analyzing data, improving communication, and upskilling analysts.
How does Copilot improve incident response times?
Copilot for Security equips analysts with critical guidance and context, enabling them to respond to incidents in minutes rather than hours or days. For example, it helps analysts analyze scripts more efficiently and write incident narratives up to 90% faster, significantly reducing the time taken to communicate with customers about active threats.
How does Copilot support junior analysts?
Copilot acts as a supportive tool for junior analysts by guiding them through complex tasks and helping them develop essential skills. It allows them to use natural language prompts to perform tasks they may not be experienced in, effectively serving as a coach that enhances their learning and expertise in cybersecurity.
