Experience model

Experience type Description
Standalone experience Dedicated Security Copilot portal workflow
Embedded experience Security Copilot capabilities inside Microsoft security products
Developer experience Agent and plugin extension model for custom workflows

Core architecture flow

  1. User prompt is submitted in standalone or embedded interface.
  2. Prompt is grounded using context and plugin signals.
  3. Language model inference executes with security context.
  4. Response is post-processed and returned with actionable guidance.

Why this matters

The same assistant model can support incident response, threat hunting, identity investigations, posture management, and operational troubleshooting when integrated with the right data sources and workflows.
