Microsoft Copilot for Security, a new (and industry-first) generative AI solution that can help security and IT professionals with their job by producing summaries of suspicious incidents, tracking hackers, and more, will be available worldwide from April 1, 2024, Microsoft has announced. This version of Copilot leverages large-scale data and threat intelligence, which, according to Microsoft, includes “more than 78 trillion security signals” processed each day.
Features include:
- Custom promptbooks allow customers to create and save their own series of natural language prompts for common security workstreams and tasks.
- Knowledgebase integrations, in preview, empowers you to integrate Copilot for Security with your business logic and perform activities based on your own step-by-step guides.
- Multi-language support now allows Copilot to process prompts and respond in eight different languages with 25 languages supported in the interface.
- Third-party integrations from global partners who are actively developing integrations and services.
- Connect to your curated external attack surface from Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management to identify and analyze the most up-to-date information on your organization’s external attack surface risks.
- Microsoft Entra audit logs and diagnostic logs give additional insight for a security investigation or IT issue analysis of audit logs related to a specific user or event, summarized in natural language.
- Usage reporting provides dashboard insights on how your teams use Copilot so that you can identify even more opportunities for optimization.
An economic study that Microsoft hosted found:
- Experienced security analysts were 22% faster with Copilot.
- They were 7% more accurate across all tasks when using Copilot.
- And, most notably, 97% said they want to use Copilot the next time they do the same task.
Microsoft is also introducing a new licensing model:
Microsoft is…introducing a provisioned pay-as-you-go licensing model that makes Copilot for Security accessible to a wider range of organizations than any other solution on the market. With this flexible, consumption-based pricing model, you can get started quickly, then scale your usage and costs according to your needs and budget. Microsoft Copilot for Security will be available for purchase starting April 1, 2024.

YOU REALLY want to publish your vulnerability reports to the cloud? Be my guest. I'm sure the hacker groups will thank you.
Um yeah, is this cloud-based? Then no, no security person is ever in t heir right mind going to use this. It has to be restricted to local only, else no.
I recently pushed myself to finally switch to Linux (Nobara OS) because of the upcoming CoPilot update for Windows. I refuse to have that crap integrated into my OS. Why is this garbage getting pushed at breakneck speeds?!?!?
I have no problem running ChatGPT in my browser, where I can silo it and it stay there. Hell it's been very helpful to look up commands in Linux without having to go to a forum to get dunked on. AI definitely has its uses BUT IT'S WROOONG SO MUCH. Anyone that relies on this for Security is in for a rough time, but the way things are going the people that would have to implement and support it will probably be fired anyway.
Also this lol: Hackers can read private AI assistant chats even though they’re encrypted
Critics say - If you stick the "AI" label on it, you make more money $$$$$$
(reminds me of the Type-R car sticker meme from decades ago)
