Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Defender

 

Microsoft Copilot Integration in Microsoft Defender

Microsoft Security Copilot helps security teams respond to attacks more quickly and efficiently by combining the power of AI with human expertise. The Microsoft Defender portal incorporates Security Copilot to give security teams better tools to look into and address incidents, find threats, and defend their company with pertinent threat intelligence. Users who have been granted access to Security Copilot can use Copilot in Defender. 

Key Features

• Investigate and respond to incidents like an expert- Give security teams the tools they need to quickly and accurately handle attack investigations. Copilot assists teams in quickly comprehending attacks, analyzing suspicious files and scripts, and evaluating as well as implementing the necessary mitigation to halt and contain attacks. 

• Summarize incidents quickly- While navigating an incident's page, Copilot automatically creates a summary of the attack, which includes important details that help in understanding what happened in the attack, what assets are involved, and the timeline of the attack. Investigating incidents with multiple alerts can be a daunting task, but one can tap Copilot to understand an incident right away. 

• Take action on incidents through guided responses- Incident resolution requires analysts to understand the attack to find out which solution is appropriate. Copilot recommends solutions thanks to guided responses specific to each incident. 

• Run script analysis with ease- Most attackers rely on sophisticated malicious software when launching an attack to avoid detection and analysis. These malicious software are generally obscure and can take the form of PowerShell scripts or control lines. Copilot allows to quickly analyze scripts and reduce research time. 

• Generate device summaries- The investigation into the devices involved in incidents can be task work. To quickly assess a device, Copilot can summarize information from a device, including the device safety posture, all unusual behavior, a list of vulnerable software and relevant Microsoft information. 

• Analyze files promptly- Copilot helps security teams use file analysis to quickly evaluate and understand suspicious files. Copilot provides the file summary, which contains the detection information linked to it, a list of API calls, and strings found in the file. 

• Investigate identities immediately- Quickly assess user risk and use Copilot to generate personality resumes. Determine when a personality is at risk or suspect with contextualized information about a user's role and role changes, sign-in behavior, devices signed in to, and relevant contact information.

• Write incident reports efficiently- Security Operations Teams usually produce reports to record important information, particularly response actions and corresponding results, members of the team involved, and other information that facilitate security decisions and learning. In many cases, incident documentation can take time. Effective incident reporting must include incident's summary along with the actions taken, including what actions were taken by whom and when. Copilot generates incident reports quickly by integrating these pieces of information. 

Privacy and Data Security

Using data that is processed, stored, and shared based on the configurations set by the administrator, Copilot is always changing. When using Copilot, Microsoft guarantees that your data is always safe and secure. Due to its ongoing development, Copilot may overlook certain things. Examining and commenting on the outcomes aids in enhancing Copilot's subsequent responses.
