Learn more about the next evolution of Security Copilot with AI agents designed to autonomously assist with phishing, data security, and identity management.

Microsoft this week announced that it is adding security-focused Copilot agents to Microsoft Security, designed to bolster organizational defenses against escalating cyber threats.

The new tools will help detect the most urgent risks faster, from phishing emails to potential insider threats.

Microsoft has expanded the capabilities of Security Copilot with AI agents tackling data security, phishing, and identity management.

Launched last April, Security Copilot is a specialized version of Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant. It enables cybersecurity professionals to surface data about breaches using natural language prompts. Security Copilot also automates several related tasks, such as the process of setting up access controls for employee devices.

Designed for Microsoft's Security Copilot tool, the AI-powered agents will automate basic tasks, freeing IT and security staff to tackle more complex issues.
