Hey, let’s discuss about Enhancing Threat Detection and Identity Protection with AI Security Copilot Agents. Security Copilot Agents are smart AI helpers for IT and security teams. They take care of repeated work, so people can spend more time protecting the company from cyber attacks. This makes security work faster and easier.
These agents are available in three ways. Microsoft gives some agents already built inside tools like Sentinel. Companies can also make their own agents for their needs. Partners can create agents that add more features to support different systems.
The agents help save time and improve results. For example, a phishing agent checks hundreds of alerts and finds only the real dangerous ones. This can save up to 200 hours every month. It keeps learning to become smarter over time.
Some agents help with identity and device protection. They check rules and find areas where security can be stronger. They also remove devices that are no longer needed. This keeps the company safe and reduces risk.

There are three types of agents that support your work. Microsoft-built agents are ready to use in your workflow. Custom-built agents are created to fit your specific needs. Partner-built agents extend capabilities across different tools.

Microsoft-built Agents

They work across Defender, Intune, Entra, and Purview to help with security, identity, device management, and data protection. These agents automate tasks like threat detection, risk analysis, and policy control.

Custom-built Agents
This highlights custom-built agents that organizations can create based on their own requirements. It shows a simple interface where you can turn your ideas into agents without needing coding skills. By customizing agents, businesses can automate unique workflows, solve specific challenges, and improve productivity.

Partner-built Agents
The screenshot shows Microsoft’s Security Copilot, where AI agents connect with partner tools like RSA, Darktrace, and Proofpoint. It centralizes and automates security, making it easy to manage everything from a single platform via the Microsoft Security Store.
