As we continue to see cyber attacks escalate in both volume and sophistication – in part thanks to the emergence of sci-fi-like Artificial Intelligence (AI) models - Microsoft has announced that it’s launching a new Security Store that will be full of security Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions and AI agents, which could signal a move away from stand alone monolithic security solutions. It’s part of a broader effort to sell Microsoft’s Sentinel security platform to businesses, complete with Microsoft Security Copilot AI agents that can be built by security teams to help tackle the latest threats.

AI and its role in Cyber Defense 2030, by Keynote Matthew Griffin
A lot of the solutions will integrate with Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Entra, Purview, or Security Copilot, making them quick to onboard for businesses that are fully reliant on Microsoft for their security needs. This should cut down on procurement and onboarding times, too.
Alongside the Security Store, Microsoft is also allowing Security Copilot users to build their own AI agents. Microsoft launched some of its own security AI agents earlier this year, and now security teams can use a tool that’s similar to Copilot Studio to build their own. You simply create an AI agent through a set of prompts and then publish them all with no code required. These Security Copilot agents will also be available in the Security Store today.
