Describe the Microsoft plugins available in Microsoft Security Copilot

Microsoft Security Copilot integrates with various sources, including Microsoft’s own security products, non-Microsoft vendors, open-source intelligence feeds, websites, and knowledge bases to generate guidance that’s specific to your organization.

One of the mechanisms by which Copilot integrates to these various sources is through plugins. Plugins extend Copilot’s capabilities. In this unit, you’ll explore the Microsoft plugins.

Microsoft plugins

Microsoft plugins give Copilot access to information and capabilities from within your organization’s Microsoft products. The image that follows shows only a subset of the available Microsoft plugins and the order in which the plugins are listed may vary from what is displayed in the product.

If a Copilot owner has restricted plugin access, then those plugins that have been set to restricted will show greyed out and restricted.

Generally speaking, Microsoft plugins in Copilot use the OBO (on behalf of) model – meaning that Copilot knows that a customer has licenses to specific products and is automatically signed into those products. Copilot can then access the specific products when the plugin is enabled and, where applicable, parameters are configured. Some Microsoft plugins that require setup, as noted by the settings icon or the setup button, may include configurable parameters that are used for authentication in-lieu of the OBO model.

To view the system capabilities supported by the enabled plugins, you select the prompt icon located in the prompt bar and select “See all system capabilities.” System capabilities are specific, single prompts that you can use in Copilot. Selecting a system capability typically requires more input to get a useful response, but Copilot provides that guidance.

The sections that follow provide brief descriptions for many, but not all, of the available Microsoft plugins. Microsoft Security Copilot is continually adding support for Microsoft products.
