Accelerate Security Operations with Security Copilot

Microsoft Security Copilot brings generative AI directly into security operations. This course shows you how to use it for real SOC work — incident summarization, script analysis, threat intelligence lookups, KQL query generation, and guided investigation workflows. This is not a theoretical overview of AI in security. You will see Security Copilot in action across Sentinel, Defender XDR, and the standalone experience.

The course covers both the embedded experience (Copilot integrated into Defender and Sentinel portals) and the standalone experience (the dedicated Security Copilot interface). You will build custom promptbooks that standardize investigation workflows — ensuring consistent analysis regardless of which analyst picks up the incident. The integration sections show how Copilot pulls context from Defender XDR incidents, Sentinel logs, Intune device data, and threat intelligence feeds.

Administration matters here because Security Copilot uses capacity-based licensing. You will learn how to manage compute units, configure access controls, monitor usage, and ensure your organization gets value from the investment without runaway costs.
