34+
35+
Phishing remains one of the most common ways attackers gain initial access. It also represents one of the highest-volume challenges security operations center (SOC) teams face, due to the large number of user-reported suspicious emails that must be investigated daily.
36+
37+
To help security teams address phishing efficiently, Microsoft Security Copilot is introducing the Phishing Triage Agent in Microsoft Defender. This AI-powered virtual agent is designed to scale security teams' response in triaging and classifying user-submitted phishing incidents, allowing organizations to improve their efficiency by reducing manual effort and streamlining their phishing response.
38+
39+
The Phishing Triage Agent uses advanced large language model (LLM)-based analysis to understand the content of reported emails and autonomously determine whether a submission is a genuine phishing attempt or a false alarm. Unlike rule-based systems, it doesn't rely on predefined input or code to operate. Instead, it applies dynamic reasoning to analyze and act on incoming reports at scale.
40+
41+
By removing false alarms from the queue, the agent significantly reduces the team's manual workload and allows them to focus on higher-priority tasks. With this automation, security teams can more efficiently process hundreds or thousands of phishing submissions, accelerating detection and response for incidents that require immediate attention.
42+
43+
## Overview
44+
45+
Security Copilot brings together the power of AI and human expertise to help security teams respond to attacks faster and more effectively. Security Copilot is embedded in the Microsoft Defender portal to help provide security teams with enhanced capabilities to investigate and respond to incidents, hunt for threats, and protect their organization with relevant threat intelligence.
46+
47+
The Phishing Triage Agent is a [Security Copilot agent](/copilot/security/agents-overview) in Microsoft Defender designed to scale your security operations teams' processes in classifying and triaging user-submitted phishing incidents. Some of the agent’s highlights include:
48+
49+
- It operates autonomously. The Phishing Triage Agent leverages advanced AI tools to perform sophisticated assessments and determine whether a phishing submission is a real threat or a false alarm, without requiring step-by-step human input or code.
50+
- It provides a transparent rationale for its classification verdicts in natural language, including the reasoning behind its decisions and the evidence it used to arrive at those conclusions. It also shows a visual representation of its reasoning process for every decision.
51+
- It continuously learns and improves its accuracy based on feedback provided by analysts. Over time, this feedback loop fine-tunes the agent’s behavior, aligning it more closely with organizational nuances and reducing the need for manual verification.
52+
53+
