Microsoft’s AI Agents: The New Office Clowns in Security?
Microsoft’s Security Copilot is flying high with 11 new AI agents, including the Defender Phishing Triage Agent. While these agents aim to automate and streamline security tasks, they occasionally need a human co-pilot to keep them on course. So, buckle up as AI takes the wheel, but be ready to grab the controls!

Microsoft’s Security Copilot is not just playing wingman anymore—it’s taken to the skies with a full squadron of AI agents! Who needs Maverick when you’ve got 11 task-specific copilots ready to tango with security threats? But wait, do these agents actually know what they’re doing, or are they just buzzing around aimlessly? Considering the event left more questions than answers, we might need a new agent, the Clarification Agent, to sort this out. Either way, buckle up because the AI-driven security landscape is hitting mach speed!
