Coming soon: Microsoft Purview capabilities in Microsoft Copilot for Security will enhance the efficiency of security incident investigations, significantly cutting down on the time required and revealing key insights that might otherwise go unnoticed.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 389143.

When this will happen:

General Availability Worldwide: We will begin rolling out early April 2024 and expect to complete by late April 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

With Microsoft Purview capabilities in Copilot for Security, your security teams gain unprecedented visibility across the security data. The user insights from Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management allow your security team with Insider Risk Management role permissions to quickly gain context on the risk associated with users involved in a security incident. Example:

  • You can ask about the risk associated with a user involved in an incident.
  • You can request a summary of an alert from Copilot to help you determine a course of action.
  • You can access details about the user’s activities, including their operations and actions over a specific time frame, identifying instances of data leakage or exfiltration, analyzing sequential activities performed by the user, and detecting any signs of anomalous or unusual behavior.

Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.
