Artificial intelligence has entered most technological fields as a result of the most recent wave of technological advancements, including social networking, office efficiency tools, and now cybersecurity.
Microsoft is utilizing GPT-4 to introduce Microsoft Security Copilot, a new generative AI security tool.
The major goal is to employ conversational AI to improve the skills of security professionals, who are frequently outmatched by the volume and sophistication of today’s threats, in part because there are more than 3 million open positions for IT security specialists.

GPT-4, the most sophisticated large language model (LLM) from OpenAI, is combined with a Microsoft security-specific model to create Microsoft Security Copilot. Microsoft Security Copilot uses its LLM and security-specific model to deploy skills and queries in response to a prompt from a security expert, assisting in the quicker and more accurate detection and response to security threats. Microsoft’s worldwide threat intelligence system, which the company claims analyses more than 65 trillion signals per day, powers it.
Defenders may respond to incidents in minutes with Microsoft Security Copilot, receive crucial step-by-step advice during investigations based on natural language, discover threats that would otherwise go undiscovered, and receive summaries of every process or occurrence.

The prompt box will allow security experts to request descriptions of vulnerabilities, information about corporate incidents, and even more details about particular connections and files. Copilot develops a response with citations to sources using generative AI and organizational data from both inside and outside the company.
It can make mistakes and won’t always operate properly, like the majority of AI models. Security Copilot, on the other hand, utilizes a closed-loop learning system with a built-in mechanism for direct user feedback. Additionally, the company says that while at launch it will include Microsoft’s security solutions, over time it will “extend to a growing ecosystem of third-party products” as well.

Microsoft guarantees consumers that, despite the tool being a learning engine, the value of their data privacy is emphasized, that their data won’t be used to train or enrich other AI models, and that it will be safeguarded by undefined organizational compliance rules. The tech behemoth has not yet provided a release date for Security Copilot.
