Microsoft’s Copilot for Security Arrives in April, Planner in Teams Now Available In Public Preview
Microsoft is launching its Copilot for Security solution on April 1, bringing its flagship AI’s capabilities to cybersecurity.
In what Microsoft describes as “the industry’s first generative solution” to “help security and IT professionals catch what others miss, move faster, and strengthen team expertise”, Copilot for Security will function ostensibly as a chatbot for security admins to leverage to read and analyse critical information such as threat summaries and security incidents.
Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President, Security, Compliance, Identity, and Management at Microsoft, wrote in a blog post:
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 will also be a pay-as-you-go solution rather than a monthly subscription, which is the case with Copilot 365. Microsoft will charge organisations $4 per hour of usage. Microsoft’s flexible, consumption-based pricing model allows users to begin using the service swiftly and then scale their usage and costs by their specific needs and budget.
Additionally, Microsoft has announced that its Planner in Teams project management solution is now available in Public Preview.
Previously announced at Microsoft Ignite in November, the new Planner product is a result of Microsoft combining the simplicity of its To Do product, the collaborative capabilities of the previous Planner iteration, the holistic features of Project for the web, and the AI-powered turbocharger that is Microsoft Copilot into one unified service available in Microsoft Teams.
In other Copilot news, its free tier just enjoyed a relatively significant upgrade, as it now uses GPT-4 Turbo rather than the previous version of GPT-4.
