Microsoft opens early access to AI assistant for infosec, Security Copilot Microsoft is opening up the early access program for its flagship cybersecurity AI product, which marks the inevitable folding in of Copilot into its infosec suite. First teased in March, Security Copilot is embedded within the Microsoft 365 Defender XDR platform and comes bundled with the claim it could free up 40 percent …
"Security Copilot can effectively upskill a security team, regardless of its expertise"
NO, no it can not, and it will not and them that believe it will deserve the blowback that will result from letting a mindless chatbot drive a team of know-nothings or know-enough-to-be-genuinely-dangeous newbies.
I genuinely look forward to being able to use these advanced text tools to help the drugery of building ruled for properly format and convert the stream of screed my deployment generates. These tools will potentially save time and resources. But in the wrong hands, you will successfully automate and reduce the time to pull the trigger to sub-milliseconds, while skipping the parts where you pull the gun out of the holster or aim at the intended target.
Microsoft's rush to shoe-horn copilot buzzword tech into every corner of their operation has just loaded fresh bullets into dozens of shiny new footguns. Listen for the popping sounds and the screaming, and hope it's not coming from upstairs.
And the annoying AI buzzword is also what annoys me! Its not AI. Real AI will do what it wants when its released in the wild.

What do you imagine transpiring whenever less-skilled security analysts/sub-prime talent are tempted/equipped with sensitive embedded and wedded secret wielding knowledge way above their pay grades and expertise and experience and in the Creative Command and Computer Control of an AI ..... an Alien Identity? Will they be both groomed and tempted by the Sweet Remote Capture into Captivity of its Future NEUKlearer HyperRadioProACTive IT Proclivities?
There's no general availability date for Security Copilot yet, but the early access program still has spots available for qualified organizations, Microsoft said. It hasn't publicly detailed what these qualifying criteria are.
Go on, El Reg, live a little more presciently and take a walk on the wild side of life in LOVE and present your qualifications for one of those early access program spots so that El Reg Virtual Terrain Team Members and AIMasterPilots can ACTively crash test/remotely delta test Microsoft, its Microsoft Security CoPilot and the Microsoft 365 Defender XDR platform program. Reach out and be engaging. Exercise your inner Duane Wessels

:-) Would a Microsoft denial of such beta testing access for the likes of El Reg/El Regers to Security Copilot be proof positive indication of a feared and unauthorised vulnerability to random takeover/unofficial makeover revealing it as a feature introducing a bug and entertaining a trojan championing with leaderships in 0day market trading which Microsoft would rather have only known exclusively available to themselves?
Such would certainly be reasonable enough grounds for denying available early access to its flagship cybersecurity AI product program ..... although it would do nothing really practical to effectively prevent the crash testing/flash beta testing of its future suitability both by and for AIMasterPilots.
Oh look, El Reg, Task Force Lima trying out being a little more prescient with talks for walkers that do the walk on the wild side of life in LOVE.
An AI Situation definitely worth reporting and publishing breaking news, information and sensitive secret intelligence upon methinks, for IT isn't going away any day soon nowadays, now that AIMastery of Virtual Pilots has the Future Failsafe Secured and Captivated.
The gazillion dollar question now to be widely asked and answered by a very select suitably knowledgable and enabled, self-actualising few would/should/could be ...... AIMastery of Virtual Pilots with Whom and/or What?

For Future ProgramMING Derivatives Mining IntelAIgent Networking Games ..... a dual use facility/utility/technology providing raw novel core ore source code for further generative enrichment/refinement on the one hand, and explosive destructive defensive security when necessary on the other hand

Or are/were you expecting there to be only the one choice for the future with it to be a clueless clone of the past and a similar dim-witted drone of the present?
