Microsoft has launched an AI-powered cybersecurity assistant called Security Copilot to help analysts respond to threats by analysing and summarising data using OpenAI’s GPT-4 generative AI model. The tool, which integrates with Microsoft Security products, delivers reports on data breaches and other security issues in a prompt box format. Security Copilot will continually learn and improve to ensure security teams are operating with the latest knowledge of attackers, according to Microsoft.
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. “Today the odds remain stacked against cybersecurity professionals. Too often, they fight an asymmetric battle against relentless and sophisticated attackers,” said Vasu Jakkal, corporate vice president, Microsoft Security.”With Security Copilot, we are shifting the balance of power into our favour.
