Microsoft Security Copilot on Microsoft Azure
What is Microsoft Security Copilot?
Microsoft Security Copilot is an AI-powered security assistant that supports SOC analysts with threat detection, incident response, and security reporting. The service is based on GPT-4 and Microsoft’s threat intelligence.
Security Copilot integrates with the Microsoft Security stack (Sentinel, Defender, Entra ID, Intune, Purview) and can answer natural language questions about security incidents. The assistant analyzes logs, correlates events, explains attack techniques, and generates reports.
The service leverages Microsoft’s 65 trillion daily security signals for contextual analysis. Promptbooks enable reusable analysis workflows.
Typical Use Cases

Threat intelligence: Analysis of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), explanation of malware families, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping for attack techniques.
Report generation: Automatic creation of executive summaries, incident reports, and compliance documentation in natural language.
Script analysis: Decoding and explanation of PowerShell scripts, malware samples, or suspicious command lines.
