Elanco uses Microsoft Security Copilot

Elanco wanted to streamline its architecture and improve the reliability and efficiency of the technology foundation for its crucial in-house drug discovery work. The company implemented a range of Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Defender Experts MDR, and Microsoft Security Copilot, to enhance how it managed security and app access. By migrating workloads to Azure, Elanco accelerated security response times by about 50%. In addition, the company is saving more than $300,000 annually, and its developers can now design and implement new ideas in days instead of months.

Why it matters

Keeping servers and pipelines healthy is constant, detail-heavy work. Agents that can read logs and run routine fixes are a big help, as long as a person keeps an eye on what changes. It is one of 130 sightings filed under DevOps & Infra on Agent Sightings (number 34 by interest), and one of 22 involving Microsoft Security Copilot.

How you could try it

Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Microsoft Security Copilot or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.

I want an agent to investigate and propose a fix, and to wait for approval before changing production. The tool in the source case was Microsoft Security Copilot.

Saved

Tip: Try it first on a staging system or with read-only credentials, and require approval for anything that changes production.
