Introduction

Security Copilot supports a number of non-Microsoft plugins and has a large number of default plugins. Adding or developing own plugin is another way to increase Security Copilot's functionality. Developers and users can create plugins on the Security Copilot platform that can be used to carry out specific tasks. 

Preinstalled Plugins

Learn how to use the plugins safely so that when Security Copilot is reacting to the commands, it can be used to gather information or take action. Any plugin can be used according to the services a company use. 

Click on the plugin button to see which plugins Security Copilot can be used. Check for the plugins that are toggled on. Security Copilot can automatically use the available plugins without any extra setup.
