The article proposes an agentic approach to security operations (SecOps) using Microsoft Sentinel MCP and Microsoft Security Copilot agents. This model aims to move beyond traditional alert systems by enabling security agents to actively hunt, explain, triage, and initiate remediation workflows. However, the author stresses the critical need for robust governance to ensure these agents are secure, explainable, auditable, and human-controlled, rather than creating uncontrolled AI automation.

This article outlines a new approach to security operations, moving from a high-volume alert system to a more controlled, AI-assisted incident response model. It emphasizes the need for human approval in critical security actions, rather than full automation, to prevent errors and ensure accountability. The proposed "human-approved incident response mesh" integrates tools like Microsoft Sentinel, Power Automate, and Teams to streamline the process from alert detection to remediation. AI
