Microsoft Security Copilot: how to set up third-party plugins

Microsoft Security logo

This demo shows how to set up third-party plug-ins in Microsoft Copilot for Security to extend what the product can do by connecting to external services. It explains what plug-ins are, calls out examples of sources (Microsoft Entra and non-Microsoft tools like Tanium), and then walks through the plug-in picker—where you can turn on a plug-in that needs no authentication (CIRCL hash lookup) or select Setup for one that does (Cyware Respond), entering a tenant URL (Tenantname.cyware.com in the demo) and a value, then saving to enable it. From there, it shows prompting in natural language—Copilot selects the right plug-in and capability automatically—and closes with how to upload custom plug-ins from the Copilot for Security public GitHub by downloading a manifest YAML file, choosing Upload plug-in, selecting an upload format (Copilot for Security plug-in or OpenAI plug-in), and completing setup now or later (including credentials), with the uploaded plug-in (SGNL) appearing in the list.

We produced this as a focused, low-friction demo: in preproduction we unpacked the feature, clarified the “why,” and scripted the exact on-screen steps; in production we captured clean UI and recorded professional voiceover with music that keeps the pace steady; and in post we tightened the flow so each click lands with intent. The payoff is a walkthrough that makes a configuration-heavy topic feel straightforward—so your audience can follow along once, then go implement it with confidence. After review rounds, we deliver the full set of final assets, including closed captions, audio description, and thumbnails.
