Designed for Microsoft's Security Copilot tool, the AI-powered agents will automate basic tasks, freeing IT and security staff to tackle more complex issues.

Microsoft launched its AI-powered Security Copilot a year ago to bring a chatbot to the cybersecurity space, and now it’s expanding it with AI agents that are designed to autonomously assist overwhelmed security teams. Microsoft is unveiling six of its own AI agents for its Security Copilot, as well as five that have been created by its partners.

Microsoft this week announced that it is adding security-focused Copilot agents to Microsoft Security, designed to bolster organizational defenses against escalating cyber threats.
