Microsoft is doubling down on security in the age of AI, focusing on both defending AI and using AI to strengthen cybersecurity. A year after launching Security Copilot, Microsoft is pushing things further with the addition of AI agents that can independently handle complex and high-volume tasks. These agents are specifically designed to take on jobs like phishing detection, data protection, identity management, and threat analysis—tasks that typically overload human teams due to sheer volume and complexity.

One of the standout examples is the phishing triage agent, which filters out false alarms and highlights real threats. With over 30 billion phishing emails detected in 2024 alone, this kind of automation is a game-changer. It frees up security professionals to focus on tougher issues while still ensuring threats are caught early. Alongside phishing, Microsoft is rolling out agents across various areas like conditional access, vulnerability remediation, and threat intelligence—each one built to learn from feedback, adapt to different workflows, and run securely within Microsoft’s broader ecosystem.
