Microsoft Security Copilot Gets New Tooling
Security Boulevard, Friday, April 11th, 2025
Microsoft has unveiled a suite of security-focused product enhancements collected under the Security Copilot banner. The company hopes to position these tools as solutions to the threats posed by artificial intelligence- (AI) assisted automation, using that same AI-assistance to create them as well as assist with end-to-end security challenges.
To its credit, Microsoft has acknowledged that it needs to do more on security. A series of high-profile failures in the recent years highlighted that for such a large and well-resourced company, it still treats security as somewhat of an afterthought. Microsoft Security Copilot is part of that response, combining customer need for better security with the cause celebre of AI.
Microsoft believes that AI can help automate the processing of security incidents. In a Tech Field Day Showcase recently, Microsoft chose email phishing reports as an example use case.
