Microsoft widens availability of its AI-powered cybersecurity assistant
Microsoft will widen the availability of its artificial intelligence-powered tool for cybersecurity professionals from April 1 and adopt a ‘pay-as-you-go’ strategy for the assistant, the company said on Wednesday.
Soft-launched last year, ‘Security Copilot’ lets analysts run queries through a simple prompt box to help with tasks like summarizing incidents, analyzing vulnerabilities and sharing information with co-workers on a pinboard.
Roughly 300 customers are currently using the tool, aMicrosoftofficial said at an event in San Francisco.
The tech giant plans to charge customers for how much they use the product rather than on a subscription basis, as it “wanted to reduce the barriers of entry,” Microsoft Corporate Vice President Vasu Jakkal told reporters.
