"Microsoft Introduces Flexible Pricing Model for AI Security Chatbot"

Microsoft is introducing a consumption-based pricing model for its new security chatbot, Copilot for Security, charging $4 per "security compute unit." This model allows customers to buy what they need and easily adjust over time without friction. The chatbot, powered by generative AI, aims to help cybersecurity professionals understand critical issues and is designed to keep expenses low for organizations while scaling for power users. Other security software companies, such as CrowdStrike, are also exploring generative AI in their products, as cyberattacks continue to pose a growing threat.
