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.
