Details

During Microsoft Ignite, we announced that we're bringing 12 new Microsoft-built agents across Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Entra, Intune, and Purview to empower smarter security workflows for everything from data security to endpoint management. As part of this exciting new development, Microsoft Security Copilot will be made available to Microsoft 365 E5 customers to make these agents easily accessible and help security teams get started more quickly.

Rollout began on November 18 for existing Security Copilot customers with E5 and will expand to all E5 customers in the following months. Customers will receive a 30-day advanced notice before activation. Partners already using Security Copilot with their E5 subscription will receive this benefit at no extra cost.

Why this matters

Whether you use Security Copilot internally or for managing customer security, agentic AI is a value-add for you and your customers, offering enhanced protection through AI-driven automation. Your security teams benefit from cutting-edge capabilities that adapt to the evolving security landscape, and these agents are built into the everyday tools your customers use. No extra licenses, subscriptions, or setup are required, making it a seamless experience.

Next steps

Billing for standalone Security Copilot stops automatically once included in a tenant. You should confirm with your customers to prevent duplicated charges.
