Microsoft is ready to launch Copilot for Security, a GPT-4-powered program designed to help cybersecurity workers investigate and stop hacks. For a year, it was in the preview stage where companies tried using the product.
Copilot for Security will be available for all customers globally on April 1. It is a standalone product featuring plugin support so it can receive data from third-party cybersecurity products. The program can also connect to Microsoft’s existing cloud security offerings, including Microsoft Defender 365, and provide protection.
The program is designed to act as an assistant that can harness existing cybersecurity tools and help professionals respond to and investigate potential hacking incidents. It summarizes incident reports and points out potential threats and the corresponding actions that an IT administrator should take to address the danger.
Copilot for Security includes disclaimers under each answer, telling users to verify their findings. Users can also flag the answers to Microsoft for review. In addition, Copilot for Security will explain why it’s flagged a piece of activity as malicious, citing sources.
Microsoft plans on selling Copilot for Security through a “pay as you go” licensing model. Microsoft says: “with this flexible, consumption-based pricing model, you can get started quickly, then scale your usage and costs according to your needs and budget.”
