Microsoft Security Copilot Agents in Microsoft Defender

Microsoft Security Copilot agents are available in Microsoft Defender to help you perform your security tasks efficiently. Security Copilot agents are AI-powered assistants that can help you with various tasks by working seamlessly with Microsoft security products.

Agents in Microsoft Defender

Phishing Triage Agent

The Phishing Triage Agent helps security operations analysts to triage and classify user-submitted phishing incidents. The agent operates autonomously, provides a transparent rationale for its classification verdicts in natural language, and continuously learns and improves its accuracy based on feedback provided by analysts.

Trigger

The agent is triggered when a user in your organization submits a phishing incident. The agent autonomously analyzes the submitted email to classify them as either phishing or not phishing based on its training and the context of the organization.

Permissions

The agent requires the following permissions to operate:

  • Security data basics (read)
  • Email & collaboration content (read)
  • Email & collaboration metadata (read)
  • Security Copilot (read)
  • Alerts (manage)

Identity

The agent operates in the context of the identity you associate with it. Creating the agent's identity and assigning the appropriate permissions to the agent is the required before starting the setup.

Products

Tenants must have the following products enabled to use the agent:

  • An active subscription to Security Copilot and provisioned capacity in Security Compute Units (SCU) to power Security Copilot workload. See Get started with Security Copilot for more information.
  • Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 2 deployed

Plugins

The following plugins must be enabled in Security Copilot:

Roles with access
