Microsoft Corporation on Tuesday unveiled a new tool called "Security Copilot" to assist cybersecurity experts in identifying breaches, detecting threat signals, and conducting more in-depth data analysis.

The tool leverages OpenAI's latest GPT-4 generative artificial intelligence model, providing a prompt box that offers a comprehensive range of features to aid security analysts in various tasks, including incident summarisation, vulnerability analysis, and information sharing with co-workers via a pinboard.

The user-friendly and efficient design of the prompt box provides cybersecurity professionals with a simplified and streamlined workflow that enables them to identify and address security issues more efficiently.

The assistant will use the company's security-specific model, which will be continually updated with over 65 trillion signals daily, resulting in a growing set of security-specific skills.

Microsoft has been making a concerted effort to integrate AI into its most popular products, outpacing its competitors with multi-billion dollar investments in OpenAI, the owner of ChatGPT.

OpenAI's recent release of GPT-4 has demonstrated its ability to perform various tasks, such as creating websites based on hand-drawn mockups and assisting individuals in tax calculations.
