In a strategic move to make cutting-edge security more accessible, Microsoft has now included Security Copilot as part of the Microsoft 365 E5 licence. That means organisations can now explore powerful, AI-driven security capabilities without any extra licensing costs or procurement headaches.
It’s a significant boost to the value of the E5 suite, and one we’re excited to help our clients leverage to enhance their existing setup.
