Do you have all the cybersecurity talent you need to ensure a fully functioning SOC? If you're like many companies, you have gaps in your cybersecurity team, thanks to a growing lack of cybersecurity professionals.
This lack of talent, combined with the sophistication of many cyberattacks, is making AI-enabled security solutions much more advantageous.
As this in-depth article shows, Microsoft has a range of AI-powered security solutions that can make your SOC run much more smoothly and effectively, even with fewer human cybersecurity staff.
What is Microsoft Security Copilot?
Microsoft Security Copilot is a generative AI solution designed to enhance the productivity and efficiency of security teams. It leverages Microsoft's extensive data advantage, which includes 65 trillion daily signals and insights from over 1 million customers. By providing step-by-step guidance and automation for tasks such as incident investigation and response, Security Copilot helps analysts work faster and more accurately. In a recent study, participants using Security Copilot reported 44% more accurate responses and 26% faster task completion.
How does Microsoft address the talent shortage in cybersecurity?
Microsoft is addressing the cybersecurity talent shortage by introducing tools like Security Copilot, which helps bridge the skills gap. With an estimated three million unfilled positions in the cybersecurity field, Security Copilot enables less experienced analysts to perform at a higher level, improving their accuracy and productivity. By simplifying complex tasks and providing AI-driven insights, Microsoft aims to empower all security roles to effectively manage cyber threats.
What are the new capabilities in Microsoft Defender?
Microsoft Defender has expanded its capabilities to include enhanced protection for generative AI applications and improved cloud security measures. For instance, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps now offers visibility into the use of generative AI apps and customizable policies to prevent data loss. Additionally, Microsoft Defender for Cloud integrates with Microsoft Entra Permissions Management to apply the least privilege principle across multicloud environments, helping organizations manage risks more effectively.
