Security Copilot: Microsoft announces Security Copilot to help security professionals better tackle an attack and resolve it quickly – Times of India
Microsoft recently announced an AI-powered Copilot assistant for Office apps like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, etc. Soon after that, the company turned to cybersecurity and announced its new Security Copilot. The new Security Copilot, according to the company, is an AI assistant designed for security professionals and it provides them with a tool to quickly detect and respond to threats and diagnose them better overall.
The new Security Copilot is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 generative AI and the company’s own security-specific model. The new copilot is just a prompt box that appears to be similar to the chat box that we see in Bing.
What can be done with Security Copilot
Microsoft has showcased in the introduction video that security professionals can use this prompt box to ask copilot questions like “what are all the security incidents in my enterprise?”. The copilot will go through everything and summarise it properly for easy analysis. It also lets users upload a file and ask questions like summarising the threat or is the file affected by malware, etc.
The company has also confirmed that all the data accessed or shared with Copilot will remain secure and on the device itself and supported it with the quote “Your data is your data”,
Microsoft Security Copilot also includes a pinboard section that lets users pin something for co-workers and also share information with them if it’s important. The summarise feature allows security professionals to analyse everything that is happening in their network and also create reports easily.
It understands natural language and lets workers ask things like a summary of a particular vulnerability, feed in files, URLs, etc. Also, all these prompts asked and responses provided by the copilot get saved for further references, audit and investigation.
In fact, security professionals can even ask a copilot to reverse engineer a threat or an attack and it will provide complete details of the attack, how it entered and what all it affected in a neat flowchart.
Microsoft has learned from its mistakes
When Microsoft announced the Bing chatbot, things didn’t go exactly as planned. So, with the launch of Security Copilot the company is being extra careful and has already warned users that “We know sometimes these models get things wrong, so we’re offering the ability to make sure we have feedback.”
Microsoft Security Copilot will start rolling out in preview
Microsoft has mentioned that the Security Copilot will first roll out to a select few customers. The company hasn’t confirmed the exact details for the wider rollout of the feature.
