Event details
Security Compute Units (SCUs) are the required resource units that power Microsoft Security Copilot, ensuring dependable and consistent performance across both standalone and embedded product experiences within Microsoft Security.
In this session, we’ll demystify SCUs by unpacking:
- What SCUs are and how they function
- The billing models that govern their usage
- Optimization strategies to maximize value
- Best practices for SCU planning and deployment
You’ll also have the opportunity to engage directly with Security Copilot experts to ask your SCU-related questions and gain practical insights.
What is an AMA?
An 'Ask Microsoft Anything' (AMA) session is an opportunity for you to engage directly with Microsoft employees! This AMA will consist of a short presentation followed by taking questions on-camera from the comment section down below! Ask your questions/give your feedback and we will have our awesome Microsoft Subject Matter Experts engaging and responding directly in the video feed. We know this timeslot might not work for everyone, so feel free to ask your questions at any time leading up to the event and the experts will do their best to answer during the live hour. This page will stay up so come back and use it as a resource anytime. We hope you enjoy!

Agree that costs via Agents or optimized prompt books are improving. But reality is that the cost of Security Copilot seems to be a lot higher per prompt compared to using another ChatGPT based model directly (especially for larger scale automation use cases - factor of 10x or even 100x).
In these automation use cases some effort is going into building it anyway, so the convenience argument isn't as strong here. It would be great if there was an alternative model option via Security Copilot for simple automation use cases (e.g. allowing a simpler / cheaper GPT model like mini maybe /AskGPTMini?) - Dean_GrossSilver Contributor
nick goodman, i want to keep it simple for my clients, I don't want to help them get started with Security Copilot only to turn around and not be able to do a Purview DSI because they don't have a different kind of SCU. A barrier like this will be very frustrating and prevent adoption

Any plans to make direct PAYGO an option like with AI Foundry? And allow for more granular model selection?
- willpocknellCopper Contributor
The thought behind this question is around optimizing cost vs value for custom agents. Building in Security Copilot vs building in AI Foundry. AI Foundry has the flexibility but now you have additional complexity of integrating the two.

What is the different with the current Copilot that it is shown currently an almost Microsoft webpages and Security Copilot?
And also the Diff from Copilot License and Security Copilot ?
