Microsoft launched six new Security Copilot agents today—including ones for phishing triage, insider risk, conditional access, vulnerability remediation, and threat intelligence—alongside five partner-built agents, as detailed in Vasu Jakkal’s blog post.

Quantifiable gains in SOC performance are growing. Mean-time-to-restore is improving by 20% or more, and threat detection times have d...
