Session Abstract

Modern security operations require more than just alert management; they demand unified visibility and intelligent automation to outpace sophisticated cyber threats. This session explores the powerful synergy between Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Copilot for Security, demonstrating how to transform your SOC from reactive to proactive. We will dive into how Defender XDR consolidates cross-domain threat signals to disrupt the attack kill-chain, while Copilot acts as an AI force multiplier, allowing defenders to use natural language to summarize complex incidents, analyze malicious scripts, and execute guided remediations at machine speed. Join me to discover how to leverage generative AI and unified threat defense to investigate faster, respond smarter, and secure your organization's digital estate.
