Did you know that, over the past two years, the number of password attacks detected by Microsoft has risen from 579 per second to more than 4,000? In a world where cyber threats evolve faster than ever, applying modern technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen cybersecurity has become essential. Today we look at how Microsoft uses AI to defend against cyberattacks, and how these innovations can support SAP environments.
Microsoft Security Copilot - A New Era in Cyber Protection
Microsoft is introducing Security Copilot, a generative-AI-based solution that draws on an enormous data advantage (65 trillion signals per day) and global threat intelligence. What does this mean for SAP environments? Imagine a system that not only responds to threats but also predicts and prevents them, integrating with SAP infrastructure and providing an even higher level of security.
Challenges and Solutions in Cybersecurity
The cybersecurity industry is grappling with a shortage of skilled professionals. Security Copilot has demonstrated that it can significantly improve the accuracy and speed of analysts’ responses, which is critical in a rapidly evolving threat landscape. How does this affect SAP specialists? Through integration with SAP solutions, analysts can identify and respond more quickly to platform-specific threats, increasing the efficiency and security of operations.
Unifying Security Operations
Microsoft has announced the launch of the world’s first unified SOC platform, combining Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Security Copilot. For the SAP ecosystem, this means better incident management and a fuller view of threats across the entire digital environment. Unifying these tools enables faster response and better coordination, which is invaluable for ensuring business continuity in SAP environments.
Extending Copilot to Data Security and Identity Management
Security Copilot now also covers areas such as data security and identity management, which is particularly relevant in the context of SAP, where data protection and access management are critical. Integrating these functions with SAP enables a more comprehensive approach to security, from identity management to data protection.
Securing the Use of Generative AI
Given the growing popularity of generative AI applications, Microsoft places strong emphasis on their safe and responsible use. For SAP environments, where AI can be used for data analysis and process automation, this is essential to ensure that innovation does not introduce new risks.
