TLDR: Microsoft Security Copilot is introducing AI-powered agents to automate security tasks for SMBs. These agents, like Phishing Triage and Vulnerability Remediation, aim to improve threat detection and response. Early adopters have seen faster resolution times, and the preview begins in April 2025.
SMBs are as vulnerable to cyber threats as large corporations, but often lack the resources to effectively counter them. The financial impact can be devastating: SMBs account for 43% of cyber attacks annually, 46% of attacks target businesses with under 1,000 employees, and the average loss per attack is $25,000. In 2020 alone, SMBs faced over 700,000 attacks resulting in $2.8 billion in damages. AI offers a solution by automating security tasks and strengthening defenses.
