Increase Security effectiveness with Security Copilot.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are an E5 customer and utilize multiple products within the Microsoft security suite (Sentinel for SIEM, Defender for Endpoint, Purview, Entra Identity Governance, Defender for Identity, etc...). Microsoft Security Copilot is extremely useful by allowing our Security Operations team to use natural language prompts to get data on activity within our environments. This is performed both proactively and during incident response. The ability to return results from various sources saves analysts time and generates efficiencies for our Security team.

Pros

  • Strong integrations with Microsoft technologies.
  • Provides accurate and detailed responses.
  • Greatly enhances capabilities of Security team.

Cons

  • Currently requires prompting to be performed within the Security application consoles. It would be beneficial to have an MCP server, allowing custom agents to interact with Security Copilot.

Return on Investment

  • Enhanced capabilities for incident response.
  • Aides analysts in building custom KQL queries.
  • Increased speed when actioning threat intelligence for threat hunting.
