Using Copilot for Security to Enhance your SOC

9th July 2024

One of the best reasons for using a trusted SOC partner like BlueSOC is that they can integrate new technical advances into their existing security services. Over the last few months, the team have been working with customers and attending industry AI and cyber security events and can see how excited everyone is about Microsoft Copilot for Security in particular. The product has been available for early adoption for around a year and has just gone into general release.

Many CISO’s are starting to expect AI capabilities to be incorporated into their security monitoring and alerting services, such as their organisation’s SIEMs. For C-suite colleagues, this is a significant investment worthy of consideration to help mitigate corporate cyber security risks.

Copilot for Security lends a helping hand to the SOC team by helping to target investigations and incident response in a more efficient and effective manner. BlueSOC consultants have therefore been extremely keen to get their hands on Copilot to see what the tool is capable of. We have taken advantage of our relationships with Microsoft to get up to speed with the training available and update our technical accreditations. We are now able to integrate Copilot for Security into existing SOC operations with Microsoft Defender integrations and are delivering on our first implementation for a public sector customer.

Microsoft Copilot for Security Implementation

For BlueSOC customers, Copilot for Security can improve the effectiveness of existing processes and capabilities for threat detection and remediation. The task of investigation, prioritisation and reporting of incidents can be supplemented with Copilot for Security, rapidly speeding up the process of instead of relying on a purely technical analysis provided from a SOC analyst. In common with all the products in the Microsoft Copilot suite, it has a natural language interface making it quick and easy for analysts to craft effective prompts for hunting queries. We are looking forward to working closely with new and existing customers to discover how we can help them benefit by integrating Microsoft Copilot for Security into their SOC operation processes.

We can already see the value this is bringing to customers as Copilot for Security deepens their understanding of the threats they face in their environment. A key benefit is the speed at which critical incidents and vulnerabilities can be identified and action taken. SOC analysts can zero in on and understand the nature of a threat and triage quickly to determine what response is needed.

If you are looking for an innovative SOC partner capable of helping you to quickly exploit new technologies and integrate these into your operations, then BlueSOC have the capability you need. We can quickly improve your security insights and keep you one step ahead of the attackers. Get in touch if you would like to find out more.
