We’re excited to announce the general availability (GA) of Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) integration with Microsoft Security Copilot. This marks a significant advancement in web application protection, bringing together Azure WAF’s industry-leading defense with the AI-powered capabilities of Security Copilot to transform how security teams detect, investigate, and respond to threats.

Why This Integration Is a Game-Changer

Modern web applications face relentless threats - from SQL injections and cross-site scripting (XSS) to bot attacks and sophisticated Layer 7 DDoS attempts. Defending against these threats requires more than just reactive measures; it demands intelligent, scalable solutions.

With Azure WAF now integrated into Security Copilot, security teams can gain:

• Proactive threat analysis: Quickly uncover attack patterns and identify emerging threats.
• Optimized WAF configurations: Use AI insights to fine-tune rules and policies.
• Accelerated investigations: Leverage Copilot’s generative AI to streamline incident triage and response.

This integration enables teams to work smarter and faster - turning raw data into actionable intelligence with the help of natural language prompts and AI-guided workflows.

Seamless Protection Across Azure Platforms

Azure WAF protects applications behind Azure Front Door and Azure Application Gateway, offering centralized, cloud-native security at scale. Now, with Security Copilot, analyzing WAF diagnostic logs no longer requires manual parsing or deep scripting expertise. Instead, AI delivers contextual insights directly to your SOC teams, cloud admins, and DevSecOps engineers.

Whether you're investigating blocked requests or tuning security policies, this integration helps reduce operational overhead while strengthening your overall security posture.

What Can You Do with Azure WAF in Security Copilot

Let’s explore some of the core capabilities now available:

SQL Injection (SQLi) Attack Analysis

Understand why Azure WAF blocked specific SQLi attempts through detailed summaries of diagnostic logs and correlation of related events over time.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Attack Insights

Get clear explanations for WAF’s enforcement actions against XSS attacks, with trend analysis across your environment.

Top Offending IPs Analysis

Identify the most malicious IPs triggering WAF rules, along with insights into the behaviors and rule patterns that led to their blocking.

Most Triggered Rules and Actions

Gain visibility into your most active WAF rules - helping prioritize tuning efforts and enhance threat detection effectiveness.

These capabilities are designed to turn WAF data into actionable knowledge - without the need for custom queries or extensive log review.

Built for the Future of Intelligent Security

As threats continue to evolve, so must our defenses. The Azure WAF and Security Copilot integration represents the next generation of web application protection - combining automation, AI reasoning, and expert knowledge to deliver adaptive security at cloud scale.

By augmenting your team with AI, you can stay ahead of attackers, protect critical apps, and respond faster than ever before.
