AI is quickly becoming a force multiplier-presenting significant opportunities for security teams to increase productivity, save time, upskill resources, and more.
Microsoft Copilot for Security is already showing immediate impact for security teams at Microsoft.
Our own Microsoft Defender Experts team has been using and exploring Copilot, and finding new ways it can streamline, inform, and optimize their daily work-from improving communication clarity to data analysis and upskilling.
Through their work on the Microsoft Defender Experts for XDR service, they serve as an extension of our customers' security operations center teams.
Now with Copilot, Defender Experts have a powerful new security tool.
In this new series of short videos, our Defender Experts share real-world scenarios where Copilot is helping them navigate threat detection, investigation, and managed response.
To begin, Ryan Kivett, Partner Group Manager for Defender Experts, Microsoft, shares his leadership view on how Copilot helps support learning and career growth for his team.
Principal Research Lead for Defender Experts, Microsoft, talks about how Copilot can help minimize the mundane tasks that take security analysts away from their most important work-serious threat investigations.
Copilot for Security puts critical guidance and context into the hands of your security team so they can respond to incidents in minutes instead of hours or days.
In our next video clip, Phoebe Rogers, a senior member of the Microsoft Defender Experts analyst team, shares how Copilot helps her shave minutes off every script analysis-which adds up to real saved time, increased efficiency and understanding, and greater incident insight.
In our next video, Brian Hooper shows how the detailed, line-by-line script examination in Copilot allows security analysts to quickly assess and identify a script as malicious or benign.
Getting threat intelligence data and rich, contextual information from Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence and Copilot helps security analysts make determinations, like whether an IP is malicious or not.
In our last video clip, Phoebe explains how Copilot can quickly explain the impact of common vulnerabilities and exposures and summarize relevant content like impacted products, bad actors known to exploit the vulnerability, and mitigation recommendations.
When faced with incomplete and imperfect data and the need to investigate a potential threat, communicate that threat to a customer, or craft a timely response, security analysts are realizing tangible, measurable benefits from using Copilot in their daily work.
Of course, the ability to leverage generative AI is not exclusive to security teams.
The sooner security teams can experience and evaluate generative AI to augment and improve their security, the better.
That's why Brian Hooper encourages department leadership who are building their plan to deploy Copilot within their team to encourage exploration.
