# Microsoft Security Copilot has launched a new pricing model for its security services.

> Microsoft is introducing a new pricing model for its Security Copilot service, charging $4 per "security compute unit." The service's AI-powered features can help companies combat cyber threats and save up to 40% of their time. Microsoft stated that this pricing model aims to keep costs low for organizations while providing flexible options for high-volume customers.

Zhitong App has learned that Microsoft will introduce an unconventional pricing model for its Security Copilot service, which will be open to the public on April 1st. Microsoft stated that the service will adopt a consumption-based pricing model, charging $4 per "security compute unit."

Andrew Conway, Vice President of Security Marketing at Microsoft, mentioned that the types of alerts and summaries provided by the Security Copilot service will vary significantly based on the customers and workload. In a statement, Andrew Conway expressed that the new pricing model will allow customers to "buy what they need."

Security is a crucial business for Microsoft, with revenue exceeding $20 billion in 2022, surpassing its gaming or search businesses. Microsoft launched the Security Copilot service in March last year, claiming it to be the world's first AI-generated security product. This product, based on OpenAI's GPT-4, combined with Microsoft's security analytics intelligence, aims to help companies and relevant departments combat cyber threats.

Microsoft previously stated that after implementing the Security Copilot service, customers could handle complex queries written in natural language and summarize security events, saving up to 40% of time on core security operations. It is reported that the AI-generated features of Security Copilot are designed to perform various tasks, create quick summaries of security events, and assist in directly responding to these events through Microsoft 365 Defender.

Cyberattacks are increasingly becoming a greater threat. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has previously emphasized the urgent need for enterprises to act faster to protect themselves from cyber threats, as a series of recent cyberattacks have highlighted.

The unconventional pricing model of the Security Copilot service aims to keep costs lower for organizations trying to use the tool while expanding the scale for advanced users. Vasu Jakkal, Vice President of Security, Compliance, Identity, and Privacy at Microsoft, mentioned that the company considered feedback from early customers and the cost of using OpenAI's Large Language Models (LLM) to process user prompts.

BP.US, the British Petroleum company, is an early customer of this security service. Chip Calhoun, Vice President of Network Defense at the company, stated, "Security Copilot has improved our efficiency, helping us identify attack patterns that are easily overlooked in situations without specific use cases."
