Previously, artificial intelligence technology Copilot was applied toGitHub,Dynamics 365,as well asMicrosoft 365 servicesLater, Microsoft announced the launch of a security service called Security Copilot, which is available in preview form and applies artificial intelligence technology to the field of security defense.
Through natural language dialogue, Microsoft said it can quickly detect malicious threats through artificial intelligence technology and take relevant response actions, allowing enterprise security personnel to improve threat blocking efficiency and execution speed, thereby strengthening the security resilience of corporate organizations.
Security Copilot is designed to seamlessly collaborate with security teams, enabling them to instantly view events occurring within the enterprise environment and learn from existing intelligence to correlate threat activity, enabling them to make optimal, efficient security decisions faster.
Microsoft stated that with 1287 password attacks occurring every second, fragmented enterprise security tools and infrastructure remain insufficient to prevent external attacks. Furthermore, with cyberattacks increasing by 5% over the past five years, businesses are unable to hire sufficient security risk professionals to keep pace with the surge in attacks. Consequently, they are left struggling to identify carefully disguised attacks amidst the massive and ever-increasing volume of network traffic and signals.
Security Copilot will simplify analysis by summarizing and analyzing threat intelligence, enhancing security teams' ability to understand the security noise within network traffic and identify malicious activity. Furthermore, Security Copilot can help security teams uncover previously missed malicious attacks and information, prioritize security incidents, and recommend optimal actions for immediate and rapid remediation of threats.
In addition, Security Copilot will also enable information security teams to obtain the latest knowledge, strategies, techniques and attack steps of attackers through continuous learning and improvement, thereby providing more effective defense.
The technology behind Security Copilot comes from a San Francisco-based cybersecurity company Microsoft previously acquired.RiskIQ, and network threat analysis company Miburo, and continues to natively integrate with security products such as Microsoft Sentinel and Defender to respond to increasingly complex attack behaviors.
Microsoft Security is currently actively tracking over 50 ransomware crime rings and over 250 nation-state cybercrime organizations, receiving approximately 65 trillion threat signals daily. Furthermore, Microsoft technology blocks over 250 billion brute-force password theft attempts per second, and over 8000 security professionals analyze even more security signals, including leveraging over 100 different data sources.
