After Bing and GitHub Copilot, Microsoft presented another tool based on OpenAI’s GPT-4 generative artificial intelligence: Microsoft Security Copilot. This tool combines the ChatGPT Language Model (LLM) with a Microsoft security enforcing model. This security enforcing model, in turn, includes a growing set of security enforcing capabilities and is based on Microsoft’s global threat intelligence and more than 65 trillion daily signals, Redmond says. Security Copilot runs on Azure’s hyperscale infrastructure.
Our cyber-trained model adds a learning system to create and refine new skills, Microsoft explains. Security Copilot can then help identify what other approaches may miss and increase an analyst’s workload. In a typical incident, this improvement translates into improvements in detection quality, response speed, and the ability to reinforce security.
Security Copilot also integrates with end-to-end Microsoft security products and will expand to a growing ecosystem of third-party products over time, Microsoft says.
Security Copilot presents itself as a dialog interface in which the user asks questions in natural language, such as: B. What incidents are occurring in my company? It is possible to request a memo about a vulnerability. The user can submit files or URLs or code samples and request information about them. It’s still possible to query Microsoft Security Copilot for alerts from other corporate security tools. Security Copilot responses are provided from internal or external company data. Security Copilot indicates the source of the data used.
Does this mean that system administrators will no longer need to check their logs? Not so sure. Microsoft makes a caveat: Security Copilot doesn’t always get everything right. AI generated content may contain errors. But Security Copilot is a closed-loop learning system, which means it continuously learns from users and gives them the opportunity to provide meaningful feedback through the feedback feature built right into the tool. As we continue to learn from these interactions, we adjust their responses to create more consistent, relevant, and useful responses.
In short, it’s the users who train Security Copilot. Microsoft ensures corporate data stays secure.
Microsoft Security Copilot, available in preview, has an official website.
