Microsoft Security Co-Pilot: Do you really need AI in your SOC?
summary
Yukon Government deploys Microsoft Security Co‑Pilot piloted in Early Access to query Entra ID, Sentinel and Defender logs, run playbooks and auto‑generate KQL, but the system doesn't take action in the environment. Analysts and an MDR partner see modest gains — roughly saves ~5–10 minutes per incident by auto‑writing queries and summaries — while licensing is charged in Security Compute Units (recommended three SCUs ≈ CA$12K/month); the pilot yields useful automations but is not renewed due to cost versus hiring.
