Experienced security professionals are faster and more accurate when using Copilot, and they overwhelmingly want to continue using Copilot. The gains are truly amazing:

However, you can’t utilize MDTI’s API endpoints for automated enrichment against incidents or develop advanced scripts via Copilot at the moment, and you need to get the MDTI API license.
