Microsoft Security Copilot is increasingly making its way into Microsoft 365 E5: a new level of AI-powered incident analysis and investigation support is available to customers with this license – a clear step toward bringing AI-powered security analysis directly into the daily work of IT and security teams.
What is new
- AI-powered incident analysis: Security Copilot supports the investigation of security incidents with automated summaries and recommended actions.
- Deeper integration: The capabilities work directly within the existing Microsoft 365 E5 tools instead of requiring a completely separate interface.
- Faster response: Teams should be able to classify and prioritize incidents faster instead of working through logs and alerts manually.
Why this matters for companies with E5
For eligible Microsoft 365 E5 and E7 customers, Microsoft provisions the service automatically through zero-click activation. No separate Azure setup or capacity provisioning is required. Included capacity is 400 Security Compute Units (SCU) per month for every 1,000 paid user licenses, scaled proportionally and capped at 10,000 SCU per month.
