The surge in cyberattacks, including password attacks at a rate of over 4,000 per second and the swift access gained through successful phishing attacks within 72 minutes, underscores the urgent need for advanced cybersecurity measures.
Microsoft’s new generative AI solution, Microsoft Security Copilot, creates a flywheel of protection to change the asymmetry of the digital threat landscape and favors security teams in this new era of security.
Here’s how Microsoft’s Security Copilot acts as an AI assistant for daily security operations:
- Outpace adversaries:
Security Copilot helps analysts respond to and remediate incidents faster. The increased speed and efficiency of generative AI lets analysts refocus on critical security tasks, including more time spent on proactive initiatives like implementing Zero Trust principles.
- Strengthen team expertise:
Security Copilot helps junior security analysts complete more complex tasks with skills like natural language to Kusto Query Language (KQL) translation and malicious script analysis.
- Simplify the complex:
Analysts no longer need to write complex scripts or KQL. They can simply ask questions in English and Security Copilot understands the context, sets the plan in motion, and writes the script. This saves time, exposes junior security analysts to more complex skills, and yields gains in productivity for organizations.
- Catch what others miss:
Because Security Copilot uses generative AI to analyze data from many sources—including Microsoft Security products and Microsoft’s unrivaled threat intelligence—it can also help analysts catch what they might otherwise miss.
- Cut through the noise:
Despite an extremely busy signal-to-noise ratio, Security Copilot synthesizes data and detects “important” signals better than ever before, allowing security and IT professionals to access, summarize, and act on insights from their tools faster.
- Broaden the hiring pool:
Because of the upskilling potential, Security Copilot allows Tier 1 analysts to complete more complex tasks, which means organizations can recruit and develop talent from a broader, more diverse resource pool.
With Security Copilot, organizations can stay one step ahead, unravel complexities, spot hidden threats, navigate through the noise, and expand their talent pool for maximum impact in the dynamic world of cyber defense.
