The author explains several benefits of Security Copilot, including expert guidance and the ability to respond to incidents in minutes instead of hours or days. She also mentions predictive guidance to help security teams and built-in controls that ensure organization data is never used to train other AI models. She concludes by reviewing new features in Microsoft Defender and improvements to Microsoft Entra.
“With increasingly frequent and sophisticated cyber-attacks hitting every sector, companies must continually evolve their security strategies,” stated Jennifer Mazzanti, CEO, eMazzanti Technologies. “Microsoft 365 enhanced security features make that easier.”
Below are a few excerpts from the article, “Leverage Microsoft 365 Enhanced Security to Stay Ahead of Evolving Threats.”
Microsoft Security Copilot: AI-powered Security Assistant
“In March, Microsoft introduced Microsoft Security Copilot, which combines generative AI with a security-specific model from Microsoft. It also integrates with existing Microsoft security products and soon with third-party tools. This powerful combination increases defender efficiency and capabilities, enabling them to respond at the speed and scale of AI.”
“For example, using natural language, a security professional might ask how to remediate an incident involving Emotet malware. Security Copilot will generate organization-specific guidance using signals and data from various security tools and Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence. It synthesizes this data into actionable insights with step-by-step instructions.”
Microsoft Defender New Features
“Organizations that subscribe to Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence can now access Threat Intelligence directly within Microsoft 365 Defender. Threat Intelligence streamlines incident triage and response by gathering threat data from across the internet and simplifying analysis.”
Microsoft Entra Improvements
“With Microsoft Entra Verified ID, organizations can now verify user identity with biometric or cryptographic methods. They can issue verifiable credentials such as digital passports, health cards, and more. And they can accept verifiable credentials from users to grant them access to applications or services.”
