This is a step-by-step guided walkthrough of how to use the custom Copilot for Security pack for Microsoft Data Security and how it can empower your organization to understand the cyber security risks in a context that allows them to achieve more. By focusing on the information and organizational context to reflect the real impact/value of investments and incidents in cyber. We are working to add this to our native toolset as well, we will update once ready.


 


Prerequisites



  • License requirements for Microsoft Purview Information Protection depend on the scenarios and features you use. To understand your licensing requirements and options for Microsoft Purview Information Protection, see the Information Protection sections from Microsoft 365 guidance for security & compliance and the related PDF download for feature-level licensing requirements. You also need to be licensed for Microsoft Copilot for Security, more information here.

  • Consider setting up Azure AI Search to ingest policy documents, so that they can be part of the process.


 


Step-by-step guided walkthrough


In this guide we will provide high-level steps to get started using the new tooling. We will start by adding the custom plugin.



  1. Go to securitycopilot.microsoft.com

  2. Download the DataSecurityAnalyst.yml file from here.

  3. Select the plugins icon down in the left corner.

  1. Click Add

  2. Under Custom you will now see the plug-in

 The custom package contains the following prompts


 Under DLP you will find this if you type /DLP

Under Sensitive you will find this if you type sensitive

Let us get started using this together with the Copilot for Security capabilities



Anomalies detection sample


The DLP anomaly is checking data from the past 30 days and inspect on a 30m interval for possible anomalies. Using a timeseries decomposition model.

The sensitivity content anomaly is using a slightly different model due to the amount of data. It is based on the diffpatterns function that compares week 3,4 with week 1,2.

Access to sensitive information by compromised accounts.


This example is checking the alerts reported against users with sensitive information that they have accessed.


 


JonNordstrm_2-1713794838205.png


 


Who has accessed a Sensitive e-mail and from where?


We allow for organizations to input message subject or message Id to identify who has opened a message. Note this only works for internal recipients.


 


JonNordstrm_3-1713794932861.png


 


You can also ask the plugin to list any emails classified as Sensitive being accessed from a specific network or affected of a specific CVE.

Document accessed by possible compromised accounts.


You can use the plugin to check if compromised accounts have been accessing a specific document.

CVE or proximity to ISP/IPTags


This is a sample where you can check how much sensitive information that is exposed to a CVE as an example. You can pivot this based on ISP as well.

Tune Exchange DLP policies sample.


If you want to tune your Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, Endpoint or OCR rules and policies you can ask Copilot for Security for suggestions.

Purview unlabelled operations


How many of the operations in your different departments are unlabelled?  Are any of the departments standing out?


 


JonNordstrm_14-1713791147842.png


 


In this context you can also use Copilot for Security to deliver recommendations and highlight what the benefit of sensitivity labels are bringing.

Applications accessing sensitive content.


What applications have been used to access sensitive content? The plugin supports asking for applications being used to access sensitive content. This can be a fairly long list of applications, you can add filters in the code to filter out common applications.

If you want to zoom into what type of content a specific application is accessing.


 


JonNordstrm_17-1713791147876.png


 


What type of network connectivity has been made from this application?


 


JonNordstrm_1-1713795957292.png


 


Or what if you get concerned about the process that has been used and want to validate the SHA256?


 


JonNordstrm_19-1713791147887.png


 


 


Hosts that are internet accessible accessing sensitive content


Another threat vector could be that some of your devices are accessible to the Internet and sensitive content is being processed. Check for processing of secrets and other sensitive information.

Promptbooks


Promptbooks are a valuable resource for accomplishing specific security-related tasks. Consider them as a way to practically implement your standard operating procedure (SOP) for certain incidents. By following the SOP, you can identify the various dimensions in an incident in a standardized way and summarize the outcome. For more information on prompt books please see this documentation.
