How Does Security Copilot Works? 

Both an immersive standalone experience and user-friendly embedded experiences found in other Microsoft security products provide access to Security Copilot's capabilities. Together, the proprietary Microsoft technologies and the foundation language model form an underlying system that helps defenders become more capable and efficient. 
  • Microsoft Security Solutions- Security Copilot seamlessly integrates with Microsoft security products like Microsoft Defender XDR, Microsoft Sentinel, and Microsoft Intune. Certain Microsoft security solutions offer embedded experiences that allow users to access Security Copilot and prompting features while working with those solutions.

  • Plugins from Microsoft and Third-Party Security Products- Security Copilot can be extended and integrated with integrated with third-party security products and Microsoft plugins. Plugins provide additional context from incident reports, event logs, alerts, and policies from third-party solutions like ServiceNow as well as Microsoft Security products.

  • Security Copilot also has Access to Threat Intelligence and Authoritative Content through plugins- These plugins have the ability to search through a variety of sources, including vulnerability disclosure publications, Microsoft Defender XDR threat analytics reports, and Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence articles and intelligence profiles.

Explanation:

  • User prompts from security products are sent to Security Copilot.

  • Security Copilot the preprocesses the input prompt via grounding, which improves the specificity of the prompt to help you get answers and then send the modified version to the language model.

  • Security Copilot takes the response from the language model and post-processes it. This includes accessing plugins to gain contextualized information.

  • Security Copilot returns the response, where the user can review and assess it. 


Conclusion

This description shows that Security Copilot iteratively processes and orchestrates the sophisticated services to help produce results that are relevant to an organization because they are contextually based on the organization's data.

  To read part 1, please click  here To read part 2, please click  here Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA) MMA is used across multiple Microsoft solutions and has undergone a few name changes as its features and functionality have evolved. If it is being considered to be used, then following areas should be covered during a Microsoft Sentinel deployment project: Consider the timelines and the strategy for a migration to AMA (Azure Monitor Agent) before the MMA end-of-life.  Consider the central deployment and management methodology for MMA. Determine which endpoints are in scope for deployment as these affect the log ingestion volume significantly.  Azure Monitor Agent (AMA) Organizations with MMA as the main Microsoft Sentinel agent should start planning the migration to AMA as soon as possible to avoid a rushed migration. One of the main advantages of AMA is the ability to control the log collection policy centrally and apply different policies against different...

The templates can be used to activate/deploy schedule alerts, create customized dashboards, create automation playbooks and perform threat-hunting activities. Generally, once deployed, the resources created have to be adjusted to match the existing environment, configure local credentials, etc. Methods of deployment: Manual- Administrator can manually configures the Microsoft Sentinel resources with the help of Azure portal. Any manual process has the inherent risks of human operator error, lack of compliance with potential change control procedures, and u...

Parsers give log formatting/transformation into ASIM formats, supporting usage across various Microsoft Sentinel content types and scenarios. Workbooks provide monitoring, visualization, and interactively with data in Microsoft Sentinel, highlighting meaningful insights for users.  Analytics rules give alerts that point to relevant SOC actions via incidents.  Hunting Queries are used by SOC teams to proactively hunt for threats in Microsoft Sentinel. Notebooks help SOC teams in using advanced hunting features in Jupyter and Azure Notebooks. Watchlists support the ingestion of specific data for enhanced threat detection and reduced alert fatigue.  Playbooks and Azure Logic Apps Custom Connectors provide featu...
