“Unleashing AI Superpowers: Microsoft’s New Cybersecurity Copilot Fights Off Hackers Like Never Before!”
Microsoft Corp. is turning the tide in the war against hackers with their groundbreaking new chat tools that empower cybersecurity teams to thwart cyberattacks and recover from them faster than ever before!
Dubbed “Copilots,” these revolutionary AI assistant tools harness the immense power of OpenAI’s GPT-4 language system and cutting-edge data specific to the security field. By identifying connections between various elements of a hack, such as dubious emails or compromised systems, Microsoft is changing the game for security workers everywhere.
Vasu Jakkal, Microsoft’s VP for security, compliance, identity, and privacy, emphasized the urgency of this innovation, saying, “Just since the pandemic, we’ve seen an incredible proliferation [of cyberattacks]. It takes one hour and 12 minutes on average for an attacker to get full access to your inbox once a user has clicked on a phishing link. It used to be months or weeks for someone to get access.”
These AI-powered Copilots make life easier for even the least tech-savvy employees, allowing them to ask plain English questions like, “How can I contain devices that are already compromised by an attack?” This user-friendly interface is a game-changer in a field where skilled workers are in short supply.
As the system is designed to learn from its users, Microsoft is also paving the way for a paradigm shift in the relationship between humans and AI. Jakkal states, “Now humans become the verifiers, and AI is giving us the data.”
Though initially available to a limited number of customers, Microsoft plans to gradually expand access to this cutting-edge tool. The Security Copilot sources data from government agencies and Microsoft’s own researchers and can work with both Microsoft’s security products and those of other companies in the future. Stay tuned for more exciting developments in the battle against cybercrime!
