Microsoft Security Copilot can effectively upskill a security team regardless of its expertise, saving them time by enabling them to find what previously they might have missed, and allowing them to focus on the most impactful projects. “Several partners are working with us to help shape Security Copilot product development by participating in our engineer-led Microsoft Security Copilot Design Advisory Council and Partner Private Preview,” says Thomson. “They are validating usage scenarios and providing feedback on functionality, operations, and application programming interfaces to assist with extensibility.” Looking ahead, effective cooperation will be essential for the mitigation of security threats. “It’s imperative that we continue to build with our strategic security partners to continue collaborating together to protect our end customers,” says Thomson.
