Writing Better Prompts for Security Copilot Just Got Easier
Get ready for a GPT that helps you prompt like a pro – message me on LinkedIn for early access!
If you’ve been using Microsoft Security Copilot, you’ll know how powerful it is when it comes to speeding up investigations, cutting through alert noise, and helping you make faster security decisions.
But here’s the thing no one talks about enough:
Your results are only as good as the prompts you give it. Bad Google = Bad Prompt.
Let’s Talk About Prompting
In the world of Generative AI security, the way you ask for information really matters. A vague question can leave you with half-baked answers. But a well-structured, thoughtful prompt? That’s where the magic happens.
And when you’re juggling tools like Microsoft Defender XDR, Sentinel, Intune, or Purview, being clear and intentional with your prompt is key to getting the insights you need.
Think of it like this: Security Copilot is your co-pilot — but you’re still the one steering the plane.
So, What Makes a Good Prompt?
You don’t need to be a prompt engineer or AI expert. But there are a few tricks to getting better results, such as:
Being super clear on what you want: "Summarise this incident using Defender data from the last 24 hours" beats "Tell me about this alert."
Framing it with context: What’s the goal? Are you trying to investigate, report, escalate, or prioritise?
Tailoring your prompt to your role: A SOC analyst will ask very different questions than a CISO or a privacy officer.
Iterating: Don’t be afraid to tweak and re-ask. Often, that’s where the gold is.
This kind of prompting can unlock smarter responses, better summaries, and even help align your strategy to Zero Trust principles. It’s genuinely game-changing.
