As a part of its continued quest to inject generative AI into all its products, Microsoft today introduced Security Copilot<\/a>, a new tool that aims to \u201csummarize\u201d and \u201cmake sense\u201d of threat intelligence.<\/p>\n

In a light-on-the-details announcement, Microsoft pitched Security Copilot as a way to correlate data on attacks while prioritizing security incidents. Countless tools already do this. But Microsoft argues that Security Copilot, which integrates with its existing security product portfolio, is made better by generative AI models from OpenAI \u2014 specifically the recently launched text-generating GPT-4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdvancing the state of security requires both people and technology \u2014 human ingenuity paired with the most advanced tools that help apply human expertise at speed and scale,\u201d Microsoft Security executive vice president Charlie Bell said in a canned statement. \u201cWith Security Copilot we are building a future where every defender is empowered with the tools and technologies necessary to make the world a safer place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Microsoft didn\u2019t divulge exactly how Security Copilot incorporates GPT-4, oddly enough. It, instead, highlighted a trained custom model \u2014 perhaps GPT-4-based \u2014 powering Security Copilot that \u201cincorporates a growing set of security-specific skills\u201d and \u201cdeploys skills and queries\u201d germane to cybersecurity.<\/p>\n

Microsoft stressed that the model isn\u2019t trained on customer data, addressing<\/a> a common criticism of language model-driven services.<\/p>\n

This custom model helps \u201ccatch what other approaches might miss,\u201d Microsoft claims, by answering security-related questions, advising on the best course of action and summarizing events and processes. But given text-generating models\u2019 untruthful<\/a> tendencies, it\u2019s unclear how effective such a model might be in production.<\/p>\n

Microsoft itself admits that the custom Security Copilot model doesn\u2019t always get everything right. \u201cAI-generated content can contain mistakes,\u201d the company writes. \u201cAs we continue to learn from these interactions, we are adjusting its responses to create more coherent, relevant and useful answers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hopefully, those mistakes don\u2019t end up making a bad security problem worse.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
