About this learning path

Every analyst has a favorite way to work an incident, and most of it lives in their head. Microsoft Security Copilot promptbooks capture that routine as an ordered series of prompts anyone can run with one input. Learn to build and share one, connect it to Azure Logic Apps in both directions, and put guardrails in place before you automate.

Prerequisites

  1. Prompting basics: Comfort writing a clear prompt with a goal, context, expectations, and source.
  2. Alerts and incidents: A working idea of how a SOC triages alerts and incidents in the Microsoft Defender portal.
  3. Roles and permissions: A high-level view of Microsoft Entra roles and Azure role-based access control, so you can see why access shapes what a promptbook returns.
