We’re thrilled to participate and connect with you at RSA Conference 2023 (RSAC) from April 23 to 27, 2023, in San Francisco. Join your security peers as we welcome you to the new era of security—shaped by the power of OpenAI’s GPT-4 generative AI—and introduce to you the recently announced Microsoft Security Copilot.

Introducing Microsoft Security Copilot: Empowering defenders at the speed of AI

Microsoft Security Copilot is the first security product to enable defenders to move at the speed and scale of AI. Security Copilot combines this advanced large language model with a security-specific model from Microsoft. This security-specific model in turn incorporates a growing set of security-specific skills and is informed by Microsoft’s unique global threat intelligence and more than 65 trillion daily signals. Security Copilot also delivers an enterprise-grade security and privacy-compliant experience as it runs on Microsoft Azure’s hyperscale infrastructure.

Be sure to explore all Microsoft sessions happening at RSAC and mark your calendar for our keynote session featuring Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President (CVP), Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity.

The new era of security to help you protect everything

At Microsoft Security, we believe our most secure future requires an end-to-end approach with technology and people, empowered to defend with resilience from the start. A future where every defender is empowered with the technologies and expertise that enable them to reach their full potential. Technology will play an essential role in this journey, but successful security is, and will continue to be, a human endeavor. We’re excited to be on this journey with you and looking forward to hearing your insights and feedback at RSAC 2023. Remember to register for the Pre-Day with Microsoft event, which starts on Sunday, April 23, 2023, at 4:00 PM PT, and plan on stopping at the Microsoft booth in Moscone North Expo.
