Security Copilot: Microsoft launches ‘first’ generative AI cybersecurity assistant

After unveiling a Copilot for its office suite earlier this month, Microsoft has now launched Security Copilot, an AI-powered cybersecurity assistant that enables analysts to quickly respond to threats, process signals and assess risk exposure by better analysing data, using OpenAI’s latest GPT-4 generative AI model.

The tool is nothing but a simple prompt box that will display responses to questions about data breaches and other security issues in a somewhat similar way as other AI-powered tools that are open for public preview.

For example, you can ask the Security Copilot about a recent security breach and it can deliver a report/ response after summarising incidents and analysing vulnerabilities.
