Cutting Through the AI Security Hype: Why Security Copilot Delivers Real Outcomes
Presented on March 10, 2026 by Joe Cicero, CMO, and Greg Stachura, Sr. SOC Manager, Security Risk Advisors.
AI is now embedded in nearly every security conversation, yet many organizations are struggling with tool sprawl, alert fatigue, and unclear returns from third party AI solutions. This webinar focuses on how security leaders can move beyond hype and evaluate AI based on governance, data grounding, and measurable security impact. We will examine why applying AI through a trusted foundation matters and how Microsoft Copilot for Security, built on Microsoft’s secure AI platform and first party threat intelligence, improves analyst efficiency and investigation quality. Attendees will gain practical insights into using AI to strengthen security operations at scale without adding noise, complexity, or risk to the SOC.
