What is Microsoft Security Copilot?
Microsoft Security Copilot allows analysts to investigate threats, summarise incidents, and generate security reports in natural language, grounded in Microsoft's 65 trillion daily security signals and nation-state threat intelligence. Embedded in Defender XDR, Sentinel, Purview, and Entra, analysts ask Copilot to investigate alerts, explain suspicious scripts, or generate phishing reports within existing tools. Consumption-based pricing at $4/SCU per hour scales with workload.
How Microsoft Security Copilot works
Microsoft Security Copilot runs as llm assistant software built around text and code workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web and microsoft security products.
