AI-Driven Security Operations, Without the Complexity

In this expert-led session, Pete Cullen, Cyber Security Principal Architect at Atech – Part of the Iomart Group, explores how organisations can strengthen their security operations using Microsoft Security Copilot.
 

By combining generative AI with Microsoft’s security stack, Security Copilot enables teams to accelerate investigations, simplify workflows, and respond to threats with greater speed and accuracy – without increasing operational complexity.
 

Responding to Growing Security Pressure

As cyber threats become more sophisticated and alert volumes continue to rise, many organisations are finding that simply adding more tools isn’t enough.
 

Security teams are under pressure to respond faster, maintain compliance, and manage increasingly complex environments, often with limited time and resource.
 

This session explores how AI can help address these challenges by improving visibility, reducing manual effort, and enabling more efficient, effective security operations.
 

A Practical Approach to AI in Security

Rather than replacing existing tools or teams, Microsoft Security Copilot works alongside them – enhancing analyst capability, improving decision-making, and enabling organisations to operate at machine speed while maintaining governance and control.
 

The session provides a practical view of how Security Copilot integrates across Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and the wider ecosystem, and what organisations should consider when introducing AI into their security workflows.
