The Microsoft Copilot Data Connector for Microsoft Sentinel is Now in Public Preview
We are happy to announce a new data connector that is available to the public: the Microsoft Copilot data connector for Microsoft Sentinel. The new Microsoft Copilot data connector will allow for audit logs and activities generated by different offerings of Copilot to be ingested into Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Sentinel data lake. This allows for Copilot activities to be leveraged within Microsoft Sentinel features such as analytic rules/custom detections, Workbooks, automation, and more. This also allows for Copilot data to be sent to Sentinel data lake, which opens the possibilities for integrations with custom graphs, MCP server, and more while offering lower cost ingestion and longer retention as needed. Eligibility for the Connector The connector is available for all customers within Microsoft Sentinel, but will only ingest data for environments that have access to Copilot licenses and SCUs as the activities rely on Copilot being used. These logs are available via the Purview Unified Audit Log (UAL) feed, which is available and enabled for all users by default. A big value of this new connector is that it eliminates the need for users to go to the Purview Portal in order to see these activities, as they are proactively brought into the workspace, enabling SOCs to generate detections and proactively threat hunt on this information. Note: This data connector is a single-tenant connector, meaning that it will ingest the data for the entire tenant that it resides in. This connector is not designed to handle multi-tenant configurations. What’s Included in the Connector The following are record types from Office 365 Management API that will be supported as part of this connector: 261 CopilotInteraction 310 CreateCopilotPlugin 311 UpdateCopilotPlugin 312 DeleteCopilotPlugin 313 EnableCopilotPlugin 314 DisableCopilotPlugin 315 CreateCopilotWorkspace 316 UpdateCopilotWorkspace 317 DeleteCopilotWorkspace 318 EnableCopilotWorkspace 319 DisableCopilotWorkspace 320 CreateCopilotPromptBook 321 UpdateCopilotPromptBook 322 DeleteCopilotPromptBook 323 EnableCopilotPromptBook 324 DisableCopilotPromptBook 325 UpdateCopilotSettings 334 TeamCopilotInteraction 363 Microsoft365CopilotScheduledPrompt 371 OutlookCopilotAutomation 389 CopilotForSecurityTrigger 390 CopilotAgentManagement These are great options for monitoring users who have permission to make changes to Copilot across the environment. This data can assist with identifying if there are anomalous interactions taking place between users and Copilot, unauthorized attempts of access, or malicious prompt usage. How to Deploy the Connector The connector is available via the Microsoft Sentinel Content Hub and can be installed today. To find the connector: Within the Defender Portal, expand the Microsoft Sentinel navigation in the left menu. Expand Configuration and select Content Hub. Within the search bar, search for “Copilot”. Click on the solution that appears and click Install. Once the solution is installed, the connector can be configured by clicking on the connector within the solution and selecting Open Connector Page. To enable the connector, the user will need either Global Administrator or Security Administrator on the tenant. Once the connector is enabled, the data will be sent to the table named CopilotActivity. Note: Data ingestion costs apply when using this data connector. Pricing will be based on the settings for the Microsoft Sentinel workspace or at the Microsoft Sentinel data lake tier pricing. As this data connector is in Public Preview, users can start deploying this connector right now! As always, let us know what you think in the comments so that we may continue to build what is most valuable to you. We hope that this new data connector continues to assist your SOC with high valuable insights that best empowers your security.

Risk-based Recommendation for SOC Optimization
This post is part of a blog series highlighting new SOC optimization capabilities designed to help SOC teams maximize security value and reduce costs, leveraging tailored dynamic recommendations. In this post, we will focus on Risk-Based Optimization, an exciting new capability that helps prioritize detection coverage based on the business risks most pertinent to your organization. Security teams often face the challenge of deciding where to focus detection efforts, especially when resources are limited and threats are constantly evolving. Traditional approaches treat all detections equally, making it difficult to align security operations with organizational priorities. The Risk-Based Optimization capability surfaces high-value detection recommendations tied directly to financial, compliance, legal, and reputational risks, helping teams make informed decisions about where to strengthen coverage. “Risk-Based Optimization has significantly influenced decision-making in threat management by providing a structured approach to prioritize and address risks.” Elie El Karkafi, Senior Solutions Architect, ampiO Solutions Importance of risk-based security prioritization One of the most pressing challenges today is that many organizations struggle to align their detection strategies with the real-world business risks that matter most. This disconnect is not just operational — it's organizational. Research shows that just 69% of board members see eye-to-eye with their CISOs (Harvard Business Review - Link). While business stakeholders focus on maintaining operations, controlling costs, and enabling growth, cybersecurity teams focus on threat mitigation, technical coverage, and vulnerability management. Without a shared understanding of risk, misalignment is inevitable. For example, the board might prioritize operational continuity, while the security team might focus on patching critical vulnerabilities - even if those vulnerabilities have no meaningful impact on core business services. This mismatch leads to: Security blind spots where high-value assets remain under protected Misallocation of resources, with low-impact threats consuming equal effort Difficulty communicating security priorities to business leadership Limited ROI visibility, as security investments aren’t tied to business outcomes What’s needed is a shared framework that allows both technical and non-technical stakeholders to view and prioritize cybersecurity risk in business terms. This includes understanding the financial impact of asset compromise — for example, what is the estimated loss if a major airline’s booking system is taken offline, millions of customer records are breached, and the incident becomes public? These are no longer theoretical scenarios — they are real and must be addressed accordingly. A risk-based approach to prioritization begins with understanding your environment: Inventory critical assets, including systems, users, and processes — both internal and external Threat model the ways those assets could be compromised or disrupted Assess exposure, considering threat likelihood and your organization’s risk tolerance Prioritize protections by assigning financial or operational impact values to potential losses Without this structured prioritization, organizations risk spending time and money without truly improving their security posture where it counts. New Risk-Based Optimization solution To help bridge the gap between business risk and security operations, we’re introducing Risk-Based Optimization. With Risk-Based Optimization capability, customers can: Identify under protected, high-risk areas Understand which business risks are impacted, such as financial fraud, data breaches, or operational downtime Receive recommendations aligned with both MITRE ATT&CK tactics and business consequences Key benefits include: Enhanced coverage across broad, business-risk-aligned threat scenarios Prioritization of high-risk threats affecting mission-critical functions Operational efficiency by concentrating resources on high-value detections Visual context through radar charts and MITRE coverage maps Actionable recommendations that integrate into detection tagging and configuration workflows As part of the public preview, Risk-Based Optimization includes three foundational use cases that align threat types with specific business risks: Credential Exploitation Network Intrusion Data Exfiltration These scenarios surface directly within the SOC Optimization experience in the unified portal, alongside existing recommendations. Users receive coverage scores and improvement suggestions that span both SIEM and XDR content — all mapped to relevant MITRE tactics, techniques, and sub-techniques for full visibility and traceability. Risk-Based Optimizations offer a broad, business-centric lens to kickstart a more strategic coverage approach. Customers can begin with these high-level optimizations, then drill down into more specific threat scenarios as needed. “Very impressed with the ease of use and intuitiveness of the feature. It enables Security Operations to focus on making risk-based decisions without being bogged down in technical complexity. The outcomes directly support broader organizational goals. I’m genuinely amazed by how straightforward it is with clear and impactful outcomes”. Shivniel Gounder, Principal Cybersecurity Engineer, DEFEND “It's aligning security measures with business risks, helping to focus resources on high-impact risks. And based on these insights and recommendations, we could have actionable steps to improve security coverage better and better.” Michael Morten Sonne, blog.sonnes.cloud, Microsoft MVP How it looks like Risk-based optimization brings clarity to a challenge every security team faces: how do we know if we're protected where it matters most? In the unified Microsoft security portal, SOC Optimization now surfaces a set of cards, each highlighting a different business risk where your coverage could be improved. Let’s take Credential Exploitation as an example. The card alerts you that your current coverage is low, and that improvements are available. With one click on “Learn about risk types”, you're taken into a detailed view that explains what the risk entails, what business areas it impacts (like financial, compliance, legal, etc.), and how your current MITRE ATT&CK coverage compares to the recommended baseline. The experience is designed for action — you don’t need to search for rules or hunt for guidance. The system surfaces exactly what detections to add, and with a direct link to the Content Hub, you can start improving your coverage immediately. This connected workflow extends into the MITRE Blade as well, where you can view the scenario’s tactics and techniques across the ATT&CK framework, helping you validate improvements and maintain alignment with real-world threats. Risk-based recommendations help transform detection management from a reactive task into a strategic advantage - bridging the gap between technical depth and business impact. “The whole addition of Risk-Based Scenarios is fantastic in terms of driving businesses to act to configure their detection rules. I would like to see this more widely adopted in the future to really build up the visibility of business risks in detections.” Vebjørn Høyland, Senior Cybersecurity Consultant, Move AS Next Steps Get started with Microsoft Sentinel in the Defender portal today to take advantage of SOC Optimization recommendations, tailored for your organization. Microsoft will continue to invest in SOC optimization features to help our customers in enhancing their security against evolving cyberthreats.
