Using Security Copilot to Proactively Identify and Prioritize Vulnerabilities

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the ability to proactively identify and prioritize vulnerabilities is more crucial than ever. This is where tools like Security Copilot come into play, offering organizations valuable insights into potential threats so they can address them before they escalate. A critical feed in this realm is provided by CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog. This meticulously maintained list flags vulnerabilities that are actively exploited, providing essential details and mitigation guidance for cybersecurity professionals to fortify their defenses efficiently.

To streamline this process, the CISA feed is seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint through an automated workflow using Logic Apps. By querying the latest CVE findings, this setup enables a targeted vulnerability assessment across devices, offering enriched descriptions and actionable remediation steps to security analysts. Notifications via email ensure all relevant stakeholders remain instantly informed, thus ensuring a coordinated, proactive approach to vulnerability management.

This method of leveraging CISA’s feed is just one of the many strategies available. Complementary technologies such as Function Apps and AI-driven solutions from the Security Copilot GitHub repository offer further automation capabilities and insights through machine learning and natural language processing, allowing organizations to enhance their decision-making processes and security operations holistically.

Hi, I’m Oskar!

Cloud architect by day, tech tinkerer by night, and a proud father all the time. Born in 1990 in Poland and now based in Germany, I spend my days diving deep into cloud, Azure, and all things technology. But my passions go beyond the digital world – I love DIY projects, home automation, biking, gardening, and cooking (because good food fuels great ideas).

This little blog is where I share my insights, experiments, and thoughts on cloud tech – because let’s be honest, the internet can always use one more tech enthusiast’s perspective.
