Microsoft Security – Catastrophic Failure

Today, Microsoft announce that Microsoft Copilot for Security will be generally available worldwide on April 1, 2024. The industry’s first generative AI solution will help security and IT professionals catch what others miss, move faster, and strengthen team expertise. Copilot is informed by large-scale data and threat intelligence, including more than 78 trillion security signals processed by Microsoft each day, and coupled with large language models to deliver tailored insights and guide next steps. With Copilot, you can protect at the speed and scale of AI and transform your security operations.

Copilot for Security economic study, which shows that experienced security professionals are faster and more accurate when using Copilot, and they overwhelmingly want to continue using Copilot. The gains are truly amazing:

* Experienced security analysts were 22% faster with Copilot.
* They were 7% more accurate across all tasks when using Copilot.
* And, most notably, 97% said they want to use Copilot the next time they do the same task.

This new study focuses on experienced security professionals and expands the randomized controlled trial we published last November, which focused on new-in-career security professionals. Both studies measured the effects on productivity when analysts performed security tasks using Copilot for Security compared to a control group that did not. The combined results of both studies demonstrate that everyone—across all levels of experience and types of expertise—can make gains in security with Copilot. When we put Copilot in the hands of security teams, we can break down barriers to entry and advancement, and improve the work experience for everyone. Copilot enables security for all.

Today, March 13, Microsoft announce the public preview release of Microsoft Security Exposure Management. This transformative solution unifies disparate data silos, extending end-to-end visibility to security teams across all assets. By enabling a thorough assessment of security posture and exposure, this solution equips teams to not only grasp their current security landscape but also elevate it to new heights. Microsoft Security Exposure Management serves as a cornerstone for proactive risk management, empowering organizations to adeptly navigate and mitigate threat exposure across their entire attack surface.

Microsoft Security Exposure Management empowers customers to:

Build an effective exposure management program with a continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) process.
Reduce risk with a clear view of every asset and real-time assessment of potential exposures both inside-out and outside-in.
Identify and classify critical assets, ensuring they are protected against a wide variety of threats.
Discover and visualize potential adversary intrusion paths, including lateral movement, to proactively identify and stop attacker activity.
Communicate exposure risk to business leaders and stakeholders with clear KPIs and actionable insights.
Enhance exposure analysis and remediation by integrating with third-party data sources and tools

At launch, we are introducing new capabilities that are foundational to exposure management programs:

Attack Surface Management: Provides a comprehensive view of the entire attack surface, allowing the exploration of assets and their relationships.
Attack Path Analysis: Assists security teams in visualizing and prioritizing attack paths and risks across environments, enabling focused remediation efforts to reduce exposure and breach likelihood.
Unified Exposure Insights: Provides decision-makers with a consolidated, clear view of an organization’s threat exposure, facilitating security teams in addressing critical questions about security posture.
