# Summarize Microsoft Sentinel incidents with Security Copilot
21+
22+
Microsoft Sentinel applies the capabilities of [Security Copilot](/security-copilot/microsoft-security-copilot) in the Azure portal to create enriched summaries of incidents, providing a comprehensive overview of security incidents by consolidating information from multiple alerts. This feature enhances incident response efficiency by offering a clear summary that helps your security operations teams quickly understand the scope and impact of an incident. It provides a structured overview, including timelines, assets involved, and indicators of compromise, along with enrichments like user risk, device risk, and watchlist matching. These summaries suggest an investigation path for your analysts to assess the scope and impact of an attack. For more information, see [Navigate, triage, and manage Microsoft Sentinel incidents in the Azure portal](incident-navigate-triage.md).
23+
24+
If you onboarded Microsoft Sentinel to the Defender portal, you can move directly to the same incident in the Defender portal and follow the guided investigation procedures there. For more information, see [Triage and investigate incidents with guided responses from Security Copilot in Microsoft Defender](/defender-xdr/security-copilot-m365d-guided-response).
25+
26+
This guide outlines what to expect and how to access the summarizing capability of Copilot in Microsoft Sentinel, including information on providing feedback.
27+
28+
> [!IMPORTANT]
29+
> The Copilot incident summary feature for Microsoft Sentinel is currently in PREVIEW. The [Azure Preview Supplemental Terms](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/preview-supplemental-terms/) include additional legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.
30+
31+

## Security Copilot integration with Microsoft Sentinel
41+
42+
The incident summary capability is available in Microsoft Sentinel in the Azure portal for customers who have provisioned access to Security Copilot.
43+
44+
This capability is also available in the Defender portal, and in the Security Copilot standalone experience through the Microsoft Sentinel plugins. Know more about [preinstalled plugins in Security Copilot](/security-copilot/manage-plugins#preinstalled-plugins).
45+
46+
## Key features
47+
48+
Incidents containing up to 100 alerts can be summarized into one incident summary. An incident summary, depending on the availability of the data, includes the following:
49+
50+
- The time and date when an attack started.
51+
- The entity or asset where the attack started.
52+
- A summary of timelines of how the attack unfolded.
53+
- The assets involved in the attack.
54+
- Indicators of compromise (IoCs).
55+
- Names of [threat actors](/unified-secops-platform/microsoft-threat-actor-naming) involved.
56+
- User risk and criticality.
57+
- Device risk and criticality.
58+
- Watchlist matches.
59+
60+
Copilot automatically generates an incident summary when you open the incident's page. The incident summary appears at the top of the details pane of the incident page, before the description.

68+
> [!TIP]
69+
> You can navigate to a file, IP, or URL page from the Copilot results pane by clicking on the evidence in the results.
70+
71+
Review the summary and use the information to guide your investigation and response to the incident.

### Security Copilot generates incident summaries in Microsoft Sentinel in the Azure portal (Preview)
28+
29+
Microsoft Sentinel in the Azure portal now features (in Preview) incident summaries generated by Security Copilot, bringing it in line with the Defender portal. These summaries give your security analysts the up-front information they need to quickly understand, triage, and start investigating developing incidents.
30+

### Multi workspace and multitenant support for Microsoft Sentinel in the Defender portal (Preview)
2734

2835
For preview, in the Defender portal, connect to one primary workspace and multiple secondary workspaces for Microsoft Sentinel. If you onboard Microsoft Sentinel with Defender XDR, a primary workspace's alerts are correlated with Defender XDR data. So incidents include alerts from Microsoft Sentinel's primary workspace and Defender XDR. All other onboarded workspaces are considered secondary workspaces. Incidents are created based on the workspace’s data and won't include Defender XDR data.
