Overview

• Microsoft unveiled six in-house AI agents and five developed with partners like OneTrust and Aviatrix to address complex cybersecurity challenges.
• The agents are designed to autonomously manage tasks such as phishing triage, vulnerability monitoring, and data loss prevention, reducing workloads for IT teams.
• The Security Copilot program integrates with Microsoft's Zero Trust framework, ensuring data access is limited to specific tasks to address privacy concerns.
• Enhanced phishing protection for Microsoft Teams, including malicious URL and attachment blocking, will roll out alongside the AI agents next month.
• Adoption of the program has been slower than anticipated, with organizations citing concerns over data handling, licensing costs, and AI reliability.
