Microsoft Copilot for Security prepares for April liftoff

Microsoft announced general availability of **Copilot for Security** on April 1, 2024, a pay-as-you-go AI security assistant (billed via Security Compute Units at an anticipated $4/hour) that integrates with Sentinel, Defender XDR, Purview, Priva, and Entra to aid investigations, incident response, and related tasks; the release adds custom promptbooks, enterprise knowledge-base integrations, multilingual support, third-party integrations, and usage reporting, with early studies and user feedback indicating productivity gains in analysis tasks but slower response workflows.
