Join the new Microsoft Security Copilot Early Access Program to fight cyberattacks with AI

Microsoft announced the new Security Copilot Early Access Program and qualified customers to join it and learn how to prevent and fight cyberattacks with AI.

The Redmond-based tech giant introduced Microsoft Security Copilot, and the AI tool is capable of detecting cyberattacks and planning solutions to combat them quite efficiently, according to our review of it.

So Microsoft is coming up with a program dedicated to the application, that will let qualified customers test different AI-enhanced security solutions. The program is now open for customers to register, and through it, Microsoft will also bring new features to Security Copilot, including:

• A new Security Copilot experience embedded within our industry-leading extended detection and response (XDR) platform, Microsoft 365 Defender. This new embedded experience helps guide analysts directly with actionable recommendations—all from within a single unified experience.
• Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence is now included at no cost with Security Copilot. Defender Threat Intelligence enables customers to directly access, operate on, and integrate Microsoft’s finished threat intelligence, delivering a greater depth of insight to security teams.

In addition, organizations that work with Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and are in the Early Access Program will be able to extend access to their Security Copilot environment, allowing MSSPs to participate with them using Security Copilot (“Bring Your Own—MSSP”).

The Early Access Program will offer a new Security Copilot experience

According to Microsoft, Security Copilot will now be enhanced with generative AI capabilities inside the Early Access Program. Here are all of the new generative capabilities coming to Security Copilot:

• Incident summaries with a single click: Summarize an incident quickly into natural language to help security operations teams understand bad actors faster or to share with the board. A complete post-response activity report is available as shown in Figure 1.
• Guided response to incidents at machine speed: Guide security analysts of any skill level through the cyberthreat remediation and response process with the help of generative AI directly within Microsoft 365 Defender. This seamless workflow helps reduce the time to respond to threats, which is key to keeping organizations safe.
• Natural language queries to simplify hunting: Whether proactively hunting for cyberthreats or extending existing incidents, queries are a critical part of any security operations platform. Write queries in natural language and use the power of Security Copilot to automatically generate Kusto Query Language (KQL) to save time and help upskill your security analysts. 
• Real-time malware analysis: Understanding and reverse-engineering malware has, to date, only been accessible to the most advanced incident responders. With Security Copilot, it becomes easier to analyze and understand complex and also obfuscated PowerShell command line scripts and document the flow—shown in Figure 2.
• Threat intelligence at your fingertips: Threat intelligence is only as effective as how easy it is to access and apply. With Security Copilot, users can inquire in natural language about emerging cyberthreats, cyberattack techniques, and whether an organization is impacted by or exposed to a specific cyberthreat.
