Azure Firewall integration in Microsoft Security Copilot
Meet Your New Security Ally: Azure Firewall + Security Copilot Integration
In the evolving landscape of cloud security, one constant remains: attackers are getting smarter, and your security analysts need tools that are even smarter than that.
Enter the new Azure Firewall integration with Microsoft Security Copilot—a game-changing collaboration that empowers analysts to investigate threats faster, deeper, and smarter using natural language. Yes, now your firewall can literally talk to you (well, almost).
Natural Language Meets Network Defence
Security Copilot’s integration with Azure Firewall transforms the way you handle IDPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention System) alerts across your cloud environment.
Instead of sifting through massive logs or wrangling with complex KQL queries, you can now ask simple questions like:
“What are the top IDPS alerts on my firewalls today?”
“Has this IDPS signature hit any other firewalls in my subscription?”
…and get instant, actionable insights.
Here’s how this works—and why it’s a big deal.
Key Capabilities That Change the Game
Whether you’re using the Security Copilot portal or interacting via Copilot in Azure, the integration offers powerful capabilities designed to cut down the time and complexity involved in threat investigation:
1️ Retrieve Top IDPS Signature Hits Instantly
What used to take minutes (or hours) with KQL, now takes seconds with a question.
Copilot surfaces log details of intercepted threats without needing you to construct queries manually. Just ask—and get back the most frequent or recent IDPS signature hits on your firewall.
2️ Enrich the Threat Profile Automatically
Stop Googling signature IDs and building threat profiles from scratch.
Copilot pulls in additional threat intelligence about a specific IDPS signature—context, threat type, known indicators, and more—to give you a comprehensive view instantly. Now you can understand the threat instead of spending time researching it.
3️ Fleet-Wide Threat Hunting with Natural Language
“Has this threat shown up anywhere else in my environment?” Just ask.
Search across your entire tenant, subscription, or resource group—not one firewall at a time. Copilot allows analysts to perform broad investigations over all Azure Firewalls in scope with just one query.
4️ Actionable Recommendations on Demand
Security best practices are now at your fingertips.
Copilot can generate recommendations from official documentation about how to better secure your environment using Azure Firewall's IDPS features. No need to dig through pages of docs—Copilot does that for you.
Why This Matters
In the past, investigating firewall alerts was often a painfully manual process—writing custom queries, flipping between threat feeds, checking multiple resources, and documenting findings. Now, with Copilot, you just ask.
This means:
- Faster incident response
- Greater analyst productivity
- Smarter decision-making
- Stronger security posture across your fleet

The Future of Firewall Defence Is Here
Security Copilot isn’t just an assistant—it’s a force multiplier for your security team. And with Azure Firewall now part of its toolkit, your analysts can go from reactive to proactive defenders of your cloud environment.
So go ahead—ask your firewall a question. It’s finally ready to answer
Summary
Azure Firewall’s integration with Microsoft Security Copilot is now generally available (as of April 2025), bringing natural language-powered threat investigation to your fingertips. Analysts can quickly retrieve IDPS hits, enrich threat profiles, hunt threats across environments, and get tailored security recommendations—all without writing a single query. This powerful feature is available in both the Security Copilot and Azure portals, making threat response faster and smarter than ever.
