From AI assistant to autonomous defense: Microsoft Security Copilot and agents in action
Cybersecurity teams are facing unprecedented pressure—from alert fatigue and skills shortages to increasingly sophisticated, AI‑driven attacks. Microsoft Security Copilot helps address these challenges by combining generative AI with deep security expertise and rich organizational context. Now, with the introduction of Security Copilot agents, security teams can take the next step toward more scalable, efficient defense. In this session, you’ll learn how Microsoft Security Copilot supports security teams in investigating incidents, hunting threats, and strengthening security posture at machine speed. We’ll also explore how Security Copilot agents enable human‑supervised, autonomous automation across key Microsoft Security solutions, including Microsoft Defender, Entra, Intune, and Purview. You’ll also see how this innovation connects to Microsoft Marketplace, which provides the underlying publishing, commerce, and billing infrastructure for partner solutions. Customers discover, procure, and deploy these solutions through the Microsoft Security Store—a security‑optimized storefront purpose‑built for extending Microsoft Security Copilot. Learn how marketplace‑published offerings and partner integrations available in Security Store help organizations tailor Security Copilot to their environment, accelerate time to value, and operationalize AI‑driven security at scale.
