Cyber Security with Microsoft Copilot

Strengthening an organisation’s cyber security is crucial in today’s digital reliant world. Copilot for Security is an AI-driven cyber security solution empowering security experts to swiftly address cyber threats, analyse signals at the speed of machines, and evaluate risk exposure within minutes. With the only prerequisite being an Azure account, Copilot for Security offers accessible and powerful capabilities to enhance incident response, streamline risk assessment, and bolster identity management, all with the power of AI.

Let’s delve into Copilot and see how organisations can leverage Copilot to fortify their cyber security defences.

1. Incident Response Enhancement: Microsoft Copilot equips security teams with an industry-first generative AI solution. Here’s how it can enhance incident response:

• • Tailored Insights: Copilot analyses large-scale data and threat intelligence, including over 78 trillion security signals processed by Microsoft daily. It then delivers tailored insights to guide security professionals in their next steps.
  • Faster Detection and Remediation: Experienced security analysts using Copilot were 22% faster and 7% more accurate across all tasks compared to a control group.
  • End-to-End View: By integrating Copilot with other Microsoft security tools (such as Defender and Sentinel), organisations can gain an end-to-end view of their security posture.

2. Streamlined Risk Assessment: Copilot streamlines risk assessment processes, allowing organisations to proactively identify vulnerabilities and prioritise mitigation efforts:

• • Automated Threat Analysis: Copilot’s generative AI assists in analysing threats, vulnerabilities, and potential risks. It provides context-aware recommendations for risk mitigation.
  • Scalable Insights: Organisations can scale their risk assessment efforts using Copilot’s large language models. This ensures consistent and comprehensive risk evaluations.
  • Strategic Alignment: Customise Copilot’s integration to align with your organisation’s specific security goals. Whether you’re assessing cloud security, network vulnerabilities, or application risks, Copilot adapts to your needs.

3. Strengthened Identity Management: Effective identity management is critical for cyber security. Copilot contributes to this by:

• • Behavioural Insights: Copilot analyses user behaviour patterns, anomalies, and access logs. It helps detect suspicious activities related to identity and access management.
  • Adaptive Authentication: By integrating Copilot with Azure Active Directory, organisations can enhance adaptive authentication. Copilot assists in identifying risky sign-ins and enforcing multi-factor authentication. Copilot leverages Large Language Models (LLMs), the Azure control plane, and insights about your Azure environment to help you work more efficiently.
  • Continuous Learning: Copilot learns from historical data and adapts its insights over time. It helps organisations stay ahead of evolving identity threats.

4. Copilot works across the Microsoft Security Stack: Copilot uses the data and signals from other Microsoft products to generate customised guidance, including from, but not limited to:

• • Microsoft Sentinel
  • Microsoft Defender XDR
  • Microsoft Intune
  • Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence
  • Microsoft Entra
  • Microsoft Purview
  • Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management

Copilot can also work with non-Microsoft products, and has integrations with other ISVs to provide plugins and promptbooks to extend the insights customers. You can see the full list here: Microsoft Security Partners

5. Measuring your ROI: While 97% of security professionals say they want to use Copilot again, we understand that beginning your journey with Copilot for Security is an investment, and one where you will want to see if it is worth it for your business. Here are a few metrics you might consider:

• • Measure your team against mean response time, incidents worked per day and average incident resolution time for the 6 months prior to getting Copilot, and then the 6 months after it is deployed to the team, and compare the results.
  • Interested to know sooner? Get a couple of your best analysts and give one of them Copilot to use, and not the other. Compare their results for both time and accuracy – you will be able to see how much time was saved and thereby spent on extra tasks that day.
