Microsoft launches Security Copilot, an innovative IT security tool

Microsoft strikes a new blow in the information security sector. This is Security Copilot, an advanced chatbot that uses artificial intelligence to promptly identify and manage cyber threats. This product is currently in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23493, but will be released in full version in the next operating system update, Windows 11 23H2.

The features of Security Copilot

Security Copilot is an AI assistant, designed to facilitate the work of security managers in the IT sector. This tool has the ability to rapidly process threat intelligence, build guides for responding to attacks, uncover malicious code, detect threats in real-time, and provide valuable tips to empower defenders.

Interaction with Security Copilot and data privacy

Security Copilot interfaces with a chatbot. This feature facilitates interaction with users, allowing them to get immediate answers on potential attacks and providing operational instructions. Microsoft guarantees the integrity and confidentiality of managed data, because Security Copilot resides in the ultra-protected environment of Azure and the data is always under the control of the user.

The benefits and future prospects of Security Copilot

The need for a tool like Security Copilot is highlighted by the current state of digital threats as reported in the Microsoft Digital Defense 2022 report. Security Copilot's ability to interact with users and learn from the data they provide ushers in a new paradigm for cyber defense. Despite this, further checks and refinements are essential to ensure effective use of its features. The product, currently used internally by Microsoft, will soon be available to a select set of customers in private preview.
