West News Wire: Microsoft unveiled Security Copilot on Tuesday. Security Copilot was inspired by OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 and is the company’s first security product geared at assisting cybersecurity professionals in identifying breaches, threat signals, and data analysis.
Defenders will be able to operate at the speed and scale of AI thanks to Security Copilot, which combines Microsoft’s security-specific models with an advanced large language model. According to a blog post by Microsoft, the security model is based on the company’s worldwide threat intelligence and more than 65 trillion daily signals.
Running on Azure’s hyperscale infrastructure, Microsoft says that Security Copilot provides enterprise-grade security and privacy-compliant experiences.
A burgeoning community of third-party products will be expanded by Security Copilot, which is also integrated with end-to-end Microsoft Security products. This transforms it into a learning method rather than just an LLM, and will enable organisations to defend against cyber threats, the company said.
“In security, minutes count. With Security Copilot, defenders can respond to security incidents within minutes instead of hours or days. Security Copilot delivers critical step-by-step guidance and context through a natural language-based investigation experience that accelerates incident investigation and response”, Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President, Security, Compliance, Identity, and Management said.
The announcement comes weeks after Microsoft announced plans to put artificial intelligence into the hands of more users, answering a spate of unveilings from rival Google. And with the latest addition, Microsoft now has AI-enabled tools in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.
