GPT-4 AI Powered Microsoft Security Copilot- Future of Comprehensive Security
Microsoft has launched a Security Copilot – a brand new GPT-4 powered chatbot for cybersecurity that aims to facilitate quicker decision-making during security incident response management, threat hunting, and security reporting, as a part of its ongoing effort to incorporate generative AI into all of its products.
Microsoft Security Executive Vice President Charlie Bell stated, “Advancing the state of security requires both people and technology.” Therefore, Microsoft’s main objective with Copilot is to create a future in which every defender is equipped with the tools necessary to make the world safer.
Here’s what you need to know about the latest AI overlord:

What is Microsoft Security Copilot?
Microsoft Security Copilot is a first-of-its-kind security product that empowers security professionals to move at the speed of AI. It is the first and the only generative AI product that builds upon the full power of GPT-4 AI to defend organizations at machine speed and scales. The use of Microsoft Security Copilot will radically accelerate the defensive capabilities against threats, provide critical insights and help one anticipate and act before an attacker’s next move.
According to a report by Cybersecurity Ventures, cyber-attacks cost the world six trillion dollars annually, and it is projected that the number will rise to approx. 10 trillion by 2025. Microsoft’s main motivation behind the launch of Copilot is to build an integrated set of end-to-end tools spanning identity, compliance, device management, security and privacy. The advanced AI models have been combined with security-optimized infrastructure to reduce complexity and shorten the response time.
WHAT IS GPT-4?
Open AI’s most recent release, GPT- 4, is significantly the most influential and magnificent AI model that can be molded in several ways. To begin with, GPT-4 is fundamentally a content-creation machine and can be used to power more than chatbots. GPT-4 is multimodal, i.e., it can not only process text but also accept and process images. For instance, one can draw an outlined website on a piece of paper, and GPT-4 can easily scan it and create an actual website.
Additionally, GPT-4 is more creative and collaborative than ever before. It can easily generate, edit, and iterate with users on creative and technical writing tasks, such as composing songs, writing screenplays, or learning a user’s writing style. Microsoft has added filters to the earlier versions of GPT to prevent it from responding to harmful questions. Therefore, GPT-4 will respectfully refuse to perform tasks such as telling sexist jokes, ranking races by attractiveness, and providing guidelines for synthesizing sarin.
HOW TO USE MICROSOFT SECURITY COPILOT?
In order to use Microsoft Security Copilot effectively, one must have access to Microsoft Security products such as Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender, and Microsoft Sentinel. Microsoft provides insights and recommendations by integrating the aforementioned products and using their data. Security Copilot can simply be accessed through a web-based chatbot or interface. Copilot, along with its AI models, will work collaboratively to scrutinize the data from your security products and generate responses customized to your organization’s needs.
Security is one of the biggest challenges of our time. According to a study published in The Register, the number of password attacks per second has risen from 579 to 1287 since September 2021. So in order to avoid such breaches, Microsoft Security Copilot undeniably aims to safeguard your data with the most extensive security and compliance controls in the industry since it is built with responsible AI principles.
What Copilot has pioneered, others will soon follow suit. Therefore, going forward with this vision, organizations need to step up to the dynamics in the tech industry – and equip themselves with the right tools and skills required for a cyber-safe environment.
