In this ongoing battle, cyberattackers have traditionally had an asymmetrical advantage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the moment a user clicks on a bad hyperlink in a malicious email, it can take as little as <em>72 minutes<\/em> before an attacker begins to exfiltrate data. By contrast, it takes an average of 277 days for organizations to identify and contain a data breach.<sup>1<\/sup> The advantage gap is widening, as nation-state-actors and cybercriminals are actively employing AI to step up their attacks. To cite just one measure: in 2023, password attacks globally increased from three billion to 30 billion per month.<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignright wp-block-bloginabox-theme-kicker\" data-bi-an=\"Kicker Left\">\n\t<div class=\"kicker\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"kicker__title\">\n\t\t\tHow governments are leveling the cybersecurity playing field with cloud and AI\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<p class=\"kicker__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/newed.any0.dpdns.org\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/government\/2023\/10\/19\/how-governments-are-leveling-the-cybersecurity-playing-field-with-cloud-and-ai\/?rtc=1\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"kicker__link\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRead the blog\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u2197<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that advances in hyperscale cloud and AI technology promise to help shift the balance of cybersecurity power to the defenders.

Cybercriminals target the public sector for ransomware attacks more than any other sector, and nation-state actors are ramping up their attacks on critical infrastructure and government.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making the challenge even more difficult for governments is the growing demand for skilled cybersecurity staff. Worldwide, there is a shortage of 3.4 million cybersecurity professionals, and the problem is especially problematic for governments, who often struggle to attract and retain top talent.<sup>2&nbsp;<\/sup>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add to this the liabilities of legacy systems, legacy mindsets, and legacy approaches to technology (any of which can hamper governments, despite their most sincere efforts), and the advantage can easily tilt in the direction of cyber adversaries.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-microsoft-copilot-for-security-advances-government-cybersecurity\">How Microsoft Copilot for Security advances government cybersecurity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cybercriminals have been quick to embrace generative AI. In underground, gated internet forums\u2014the so-called dark web\u2014attackers share the latest innovations built on ChatGPT, effectively accelerating the ability of bad people and organizations to do bad things. A recent report attributed 85% of the rise in cyberattacks over the past 12 months to bad actors using generative AI.<sup>3<\/sup> The good news is that Microsoft and other technology providers are responding with AI-powered innovations to counter the threat.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newed.any0.dpdns.org\/en-us\/security\/business\/ai-machine-learning\/microsoft-security-copilot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Microsoft Copilot for Security<\/a> is the first generative AI security product that will help defend organizations at machine speed and scale. It combines the most advanced GPT4 model from OpenAI with a Microsoft-developed security model, powered by Microsoft Security\u2019s unique expertise, global threat intelligence, and comprehensive security products.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Microsoft Copilot for Security is designed to work seamlessly with the systems and tools used by modern governments, specifically the security operations center (SOC) for managing security on an organizational and technical level, and the security information and event management (SIEM) solution for detecting, analyzing, and responding to threats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine an analyst investigating a potential breach in the network. Today, this person would use scripts and manual queries to correlate information from across multiple screens and disparate systems with terabytes and petabytes of data, in an attempt to evaluate security signals and draw valuable conclusions\u2014a \u201cneedle-in-the-haystack\u201d exercise that is both slow and unreliable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignleft wp-block-bloginabox-theme-kicker\" data-bi-an=\"Kicker Left\">\n\t<div class=\"kicker\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"kicker__title\">\n\t\t\tMicrosoft Copilot for Security provides immediate impact for the Microsoft Defender Experts team\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<p class=\"kicker__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/newed.any0.dpdns.org\/en-us\/security\/blog\/2024\/02\/08\/microsoft-copilot-for-security-provides-immediate-impact-for-the-microsoft-defender-experts-team\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"kicker__link\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRead the blog\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u2197<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By contrast, Copilot for Security enables analysts to use natural language to ask questions, such as, \u201cCan you identify indicators of compromise?\u201d \u201cWhere are we seeing suspicious logon attempts?\u201d and so on, to rapidly assess an organization\u2019s security posture. By analyzing and interpreting massive amounts of security data from across heterogenous environments and platforms in real-time, copilot assists the cybersecurity analyst to find detailed, actionable insights and solutions at a speed and reliability that are simply unachievable today using legacy technology. Moreover, Copilot for Security can then easily translate hunting insights or incident responses into PowerPoint slides or emails to quickly inform colleagues or leadership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, Copilot for Security empowers analysts to become more effective hunters and responders without specialized technical training. Our early private preview customer research data shows that it saves analysts up to 40 percent of their time on foundational tasks like threat intelligence assessments, and up to 63 percent of their time preparing reports. These efficiency gains free up analysts to focus more on high value tasks to secure the organization, with Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts potentially performing tasks that would otherwise be reserved for more experienced Tier 3 or Tier 4 professionals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preparing-your-environment-for-microsoft-copilot-for-security\">Preparing your environment for Microsoft Copilot for Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Microsoft Copilot for Security is currently available through our <a href=\"https:\/\/newed.any0.dpdns.org\/en-us\/security\/blog\/2023\/10\/19\/microsoft-security-copilot-early-access-program-harnessing-generative-ai-to-empower-security-teams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Early Access Program<\/a> and is expected to be released broadly later this year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, now is the time to prepare so that your environment is optimized to take full advantage of Copilot for Security when it becomes available.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most impactful move you can make in the near term is to adopt <a href=\"https:\/\/newed.any0.dpdns.org\/en-us\/security\/business\/siem-and-xdr\/microsoft-defender-xdr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Defender XDR <\/a>(for extended XDR, or extended detection and response), <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/microsoft-sentinel\/?ef_id=_k_6905b879cd451e73f455ddbc95f8ab50_k_&amp;OCID=AIDcmm5edswduu_SEM__k_6905b879cd451e73f455ddbc95f8ab50_k_&amp;msclkid=6905b879cd451e73f455ddbc95f8ab50\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Sentinel<\/a> (a cloud-native SIEM solution), and <a href=\"https:\/\/newed.any0.dpdns.org\/en-us\/security\/business\/Microsoft-Intune\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Intune<\/a> (for endpoint management) as soon as possible.
