Microsoft Security Copilot + Entra + Defender: A Smarter Way to Tackle Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is evolving faster than ever. And it has never been tougher. Attackers are moving faster, leveraging automation, and exploiting every gap in traditional defences. The good news? Microsoft is reshaping the security landscape with Security Copilot, Entra, and Defender – a powerful trio designed to help security teams stay ahead.

At Exigo Tech, we help our customers stay ahead of these threats by combining our proven expertise with these latest Microsoft innovations. Together, these tools represent a new, AI-driven approach to security designed to empower your team, close skill gaps, and secure your business.

Security Copilot: Your AI Assistant for Security

Think of Security Copilot as the AI security analyst every team wishes they had. Integrated directly into the Microsoft ecosystem, it delivers answers in seconds—not hours.

• You get a prompt bar where you just type what you want in plain English.
• It can summarise incidents, show you which alerts actually matter, and even suggest what to do next.
• And it comes with a growing set of skills – pre-built actions like threat hunting, incident response, or policy analysis that you can run instantly.

The goal isn’t to replace people; it’s to empower security teams to work faster, reduce alert fatigue, and focus on strategy instead of endless manual tasks.

At Exigo Tech, we help organisations integrate Security Copilot into their Microsoft stack, ensuring teams see immediate productivity and faster time-to-value.

Entra: Identity at the Core of Security

Almost every attack today starts with stolen or misused credentials. That’s where Microsoft Entra plays a central role in defending your organisation.

• Adaptive Conditional Access dynamically responds to risky logins by triggering MFA, restricting access, or blocking attempts altogether.
• Copilot policy insights help CISOs and IT teams fine-tune settings—strengthening security while improving user experience.

Natural Language Meets Microsoft Graph

Here’s a game-changer: with Copilot, you can now ask Entra questions in natural language, and it automatically generates the right Microsoft Graph query using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

That means instead of knowing the exact syntax, you just type what you need:

• “Show me all Global Admins who haven’t logged in for 30 days.”
• “Find service principals with expired secrets.”
• “List external users who still have access to Teams.”

No need to be a Graph expert—Copilot removes complexity while keeping you in control. For me, this is where AI makes the biggest difference: it removes complexity without removing control.

At Exigo Tech, we configure and optimise Entra policies for our clients, ensuring strong identity governance without unnecessary complexity.

Defender: The Shield, Supercharged by Copilot

Microsoft Defender already provides robust protection across endpoints, identities, email, and cloud apps. When paired with Copilot, it becomes smarter and more proactive:

• Ask, “Which devices are impacted by the latest ransomware?” and get immediate clarity.
• Copilot can summarise incidents into plain English so you don’t waste hours digging through logs.
• It can predict which attack vector is most likely to be targeted next, giving you proactive recommendations.

Exigo Tech brings expertise in Defender deployment and optimisation, ensuring every layer of your digital estate—from endpoints to cloud apps—is protected and monitored.

Why This Matters

The skills gap in security isn’t getting smaller. Most teams are under pressure to do more with less. What Microsoft is building here doesn’t replace people — it amplifies them.

Together:

• Security Copilot accelerates investigations.
• Entra locks down identity and makes policy insights more accessible.
• Defender provides intelligent protection across the attack surface.

This is security that moves at the speed of attackers and finally gives defenders the upper hand.
