UiPath collaborates with Microsoft to automate threat detection and response

Agentic automation company UiPath has collaborated with Microsoft to build a new security automation capability to automate threat detection and response across Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel and integrated Microsoft threat intelligence.

The solution is intended for enterprise and will be available in the UiPath Solutions Marketplace.

Files and signals originating from automated business workflows can now be scanned automatically using Microsoft Defender for Cloud, enriched with business context, and forwarded to Microsoft Sentinel for investigation. 

Once forwarded, security analysts can then leverage Microsoft Security Copilot for guided, human-in-the-loop analysis of those artifacts and data, while UiPath automations execute follow-up actions such as quarantining files, pausing workflows or escalating incidents.

“This collaboration brings security automation closer to where work actually happens,” said Andrei Oros, director of IT automation at UiPath.

“The combination of our automation capabilities with Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and Security Copilot gives enterprises the ability to embed security controls into operational processes. It’s the peace-of-mind they need to adopt automation across their organisation, with the confidence that the data and information driving their most important workflows is compliant and secure, and that it won’t interrupt their business.”

“UiPath’s integration with Microsoft fuses automation with built-in security and governance  - enriching signals with business context, empowering human-in-the-loop decisions, and accelerating detection and response – so enterprises can scale agentic automation with confidence,” commented Ruthy Kaidar, MD of solutions, software companies at Microsoft EMEA.

“Security teams need solutions that move at the speed of modern threats,” said Steven Spirou, senior product manager at Microsoft Security. “UiPath’s work with Microsoft Sentinel and Security Copilot demonstrates how partners can extend the platform with automation, richer context, and faster response, bringing real, production-grade value to SOC teams.”
