Security Copilot is now included as part of your Microsoft 365 E5/E7 plan

What the notice says

Microsoft's text, with its sections, lists and tables; source markup removed

What and why

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.

Rollout schedule

To make it easier for teams to get started, beginning today, your organization has access to Security Copilot features and agents as part of your existing Microsoft 365 E5/E7 entitlement.

Impact on your organization

Who is affected:

  • Organizations with Microsoft 365 E5 or E7

Platforms/Services:

  • Defender
  • Entra
  • Intune
  • Purview
  • Security Copilot portal

What will happen:

  • Security Copilot will be automatically included with Microsoft 365 E5/E7 (no separate purchase required).
  • Your tenant will receive 400 Security Compute Units (SCUs) per month per 1,000 licensed users, up to 10,000 SCUs per month.
  • Core agentic security experiences will be available across Defender, Entra, Intune, Purview, and the Security Copilot portal.
  • Developer tools and APIs will be available to build custom agents and integrations.
  • Existing security, compliance, and access policies continue to apply.

Additional capabilities outside the included entitlement may incur extra charges, including:

  • Microsoft Sentinel data lake compute or storage.
  • Non-agentic Data Security Investigations in Purview.
  • Azure Logic Apps usage with Security Copilot.
  • Third-party agents purchased via Microsoft Security Store.

Action required / Recommendations

No action is required to enable this feature.

We recommend:

  • Reviewing new agentic scenarios and capabilities in the Security Copilot Adoption Hub.
  • Reviewing the documentation for details on what’s included.
  • Requesting assistance from a Microsoft 365 FastTrack specialist to unlock the full value of Security Copilot.
  • Exploring Microsoft and partner-published agents in Microsoft Security Store, also accessible within Microsoft Defender and Entra.
