Microsoft is raising the bar in the cybersecurity game with a new wave of AI-driven security agents. The company announced an expansion of its Microsoft Security Copilot, introducing six AI agents designed to tackle cyber threats head-on. These agents, set to launch in April 2025, will assist overwhelmed security teams in handling phishing attacks, data breaches, and identity threats.<\/p>\n

Cyberattacks have reached unprecedented levels, with Microsoft detecting more than 30 billion phishing emails in 2024 and tracking 7,000 password attacks every second. The new Security Copilot agents aim to ease the burden on cybersecurity teams by automating threat detection and response, enabling faster and more effective protection.<\/p>\n
