Microsoft Copilot for Security to be Generally Available from April

Microsoft will make its Copilot for Security generally available from April 1 as both a standalone service as well as a part of an embedded service in Microsoft 365. In a blog posted to make the announcement, Microsoft has said that early use cases of the tool focus on features like providing summaries for AI-driven security incidents, assessing security events to determine the source, reverse engineer malware scripts to locate weaknesses and using Copilot to create a guided response via a step-by-step method to handle tasks, such as investigating incidents, containing a security breach and so on. The blog noted that a study was conducted that showed that Copilot for Security users were 22% faster at common security tasks with an increase in accuracy by 7%, according to a vendor. Microsoft also plans to offer additional services for the generally available launch including support for 25 languages, custom promptbooks that allows users to type in and save commonly used text prompts for repetitive tasks and more.
