The AI-powered tool will assist security professionals in detecting threats, improving response times, and strengthening their organization’s security posture. Running on Azure’s hyperscale infrastructure, It integrates an LLM with a security-specific model from Microsoft, which incorporates a growing set of security skills and is informed by Microsoft’s global threat intelligence and more than 65 trillion daily signals. Microsoft Security Copilot aims to provide end-to-end defense at machine speed and scale. You can share its results in a shared workspace. It keeps a full audit trail of all its inputs and results. For example, you can ask for a summary of a particular vulnerability, feed in code snippets for analysis, or have it analyze incident reports. Security Copilot works by accepting natural language inputs. To do its work, Security Copilot was trained on data from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the NIST vulnerability database, and, of course, Microsoft’s own threat intelligence database. Not to mention, it should also improve our code’s security while also speeding up production. Combine all this with the desperate need for skilled security professionals - Microsoft estimates there are 3.4 million openings - and this may prove to be yet another Microsoft service destined to mint money.

In other words, OpenAI and Copilot were already working together. This service can be used with such editors as Microsoft Visual Studio, Neovim, VS Code, and JetBrains IDE. This extension also translates natural language into code. The new vulnerability filter uses large language models (LLMs) to “approximate the behavior of static analysis tools.” It included an updated version of OpenAI Codex and a real-time vulnerability filter for catching security bugs while coding. Indeed, GitHub Copilot for Business, the OpenAI Codex extension, came out in February. The result is Microsoft Security Copilot. So, combining the two was a natural move. No less a person with a clue about technology named Bill Gates called generative AI the “most important advance in technology since the graphical user interface.” Meanwhile, GitHub Copilot, Microsoft’s automated pair-programming service, has become wildly popular in its own right.
