Next month, Microsoft is preparing to launch Copilot for Security, as the software giant brings its AI assistant to the cybersecurity space.
The company designed Copilot for Security for cybersecurity professionals to help protect against threats, although the service will not be available as a monthly subscription like Copilot for Microsoft 365.
Instead, Microsoft is charging businesses $4 per hour of use as part of the consumer model when Copilot for Security launches on April 1.
Copilot for Security is a chatbot powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model and Microsoft’s security model.
The service allows cybersecurity professionals to obtain up-to-date information regarding security incidents, threat summaries, and more.
Microsoft began testing this chatbot for the first time about a year ago, and it includes access to up-to-date information regarding security threats and Microsoft’s 78 trillion daily signals, which the company provides by collecting threat information.
Copilot for Security includes a whiteboard section for collaboration between cybersecurity staff, and the ability to summarize events for reporting purposes.
Like many other AI chatbots, you can use natural language input, input files for analysis, or even let Copilot for Security analyze your code.
The service saves all claims in an archive log for later auditing.
The company designed the pricing model to allow companies to scale what they need for their AI-powered cybersecurity efforts.
“We have a simple pricing model that covers the standalone Copilot experience and built-in experiences across the Microsoft Security suite,” Microsoft says, adding, “The consumer model means it’s easy to get started quickly and on a small scale to experiment and learn without paying a per-device or per-user fee.”
Microsoft’s pursuit of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity comes at a time when the company is under attack by state-sponsored Russian hackers.
