Microsoft Security Copilot: how to use Security Copilot to create better prompts

Microsoft Security logo

This demo shows how Microsoft Copilot for Security can generate nontechnical summaries for audiences who don’t live and breathe security. Using a PowerShell script found in an incident as the example, it explains why even a step-by-step technical breakdown can still be too dense for help desk or IT support teams. The video then demonstrates a prompt approach where Copilot for Security asks a series of clarifying questions—how technical the audience is, what points matter most, how detailed the summary should be, and whether recommendations are needed—then uses those answers to produce a high-level, bullet-point summary that highlights suspicious or potentially malicious actions and recommends a single next step: investigate further. It closes by pointing viewers to Microsoft Docs for more prompt-writing guidance.

We produced this as a streamlined demo designed to make the message land fast: we aligned on the goal, wrote a tight script, and planned the exact on-screen flow in preproduction. During production, we captured clean screens, recorded professional voiceover, and mixed music that keeps momentum without competing for attention. In post, we shaped it into an easy-to-follow walkthrough that keeps the focus on the value—clear communication for mixed-skill teams—so viewers remember the workflow and can apply it immediately.
