Device Authority has expanded KeyScaler AI with Microsoft Copilot integration to improve visibility and accelerate IoT threat response.

The added functionality aims to ease the load on security teams and reduce risk for critical connected ecosystems.

This capability is designed for users of Microsoft’s productivity suite to accelerate decision-making and improve visibility across large, complex fleets of connected devices, where delays or errors can carry significant operational risk and cost.

The integration extends access to KeyScaler AI, a core capability that underpins the entire KeyScaler identity security platform, and surfaces its rich device identity data into familiar tools such as Microsoft Teams. This enables users to take advantage of AI-powered insights through natural language prompts and react faster to potential threats.

By analysing KeyScaler’s data and matching device-specific components with external vulnerability databases, KeyScaler AI with Copilot identifies relevant vulnerabilities, proposes next steps and supports automated risk mitigation, even across complex, distributed IoT environments.

As an example of this AI-driven capability, for each device managed by KeyScaler, KeyScaler AI uses the device’s SBOM to identify any associated common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). KeyScaler AI then accesses the CVE’s description, retrieves the full record and scans linked resources such as GitHub to summarise the nature of the threat and recommend the most appropriate course of action. This reduces manual investigation time, helps analysts prioritise action with greater clarity, and reduces the window of vulnerability for affected devices.

With these enhancements, security teams can respond faster and more effectively, improving key cyber-security metrics such as mean time to discover and mean time to respond. Automated assessments and relevant context support better, faster decisions, lessening the manual burden on security operations teams, helping reduce unnecessary shutdowns and improving overall operational resilience.

“Security operations teams are under immense pressure, particularly when managing large estates of connected devices,” said Richard Seward, vice president at Device Authority. “By making AI a core component of KeyScaler, we’re helping organisations reduce manual effort and improve responsiveness, while maintaining the trust and control that’s critical to operational continuity.”

Device Authority CEO Darron Antill added: “This is an important step in the evolution of our KeyScaler platform. As cyber threats become more complex and distributed, customers need intelligent, scalable ways to keep their devices protected. These new capabilities enhance KeyScaler’s role at the heart of their security operations.”
