Microsoft unveils Microsoft Security Copilot agents and new protections for AI
AI is reshaping security operations, but it also brings new risks. This blog outlines Microsoft's latest innovations, including agent-based automation with Security Copilot and new controls for protecting AI. Read the blog to understand what's changing and reach out to Amaral Group, LLC for help navigating next steps.
What is Microsoft Security Copilot?
Microsoft Security Copilot is an AI-driven security platform designed to empower security teams to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents more efficiently. Launched a year ago, it has evolved to include AI agents that autonomously assist with critical areas such as phishing, data security, and identity management, addressing the increasing complexity and volume of cyberattacks.
How does the Phishing Triage Agent work?
The Phishing Triage Agent in Microsoft Security Copilot is designed to handle routine phishing alerts and cyberattacks. By accurately identifying real threats and false alarms, it allows human defenders to focus on more complex issues. This automation is crucial, especially given that Microsoft detected over 30 billion phishing emails targeting customers in 2024, which can overwhelm traditional security processes.
What new features are being introduced for AI security?
New features include AI security posture management that extends beyond Microsoft Azure to cover multiple cloud platforms, and enhanced detection for emerging AI threats. Microsoft Defender will provide visibility across various AI models and clouds, addressing risks such as indirect prompt injection attacks and sensitive data exposure, which are critical as organizations increasingly adopt generative AI.
