Microsoft Security Copilot agents are built into the flow of work of security teams using Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Purview. At Ignite 2025, Microsoft introduced a dozen new agents across these products, bringing agentic defense across workflows to enable autonomous and proactive protection.
