UiPath, a leader in agentic automation, has introduced a new security automation capability developed in collaboration with Microsoft. The solution integrates UiPath's enterprise automation platform with Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, and Microsoft threat intelligence to automate threat detection, enrichment, and response in business workflows. This enables organizations to embed security controls directly into operational processes, reducing mean time to resolve (MTTR) and minimizing business disruptions while scaling automation confidently.

Quick Intel

  • UiPath and Microsoft collaborate on security automation that scans files and signals from automated workflows using Defender for Cloud.
  • Enriched data with business context flows to Microsoft Sentinel for investigation, with Security Copilot enabling guided human-in-the-loop analysis.
  • UiPath automations execute rapid response actions such as quarantining files, pausing workflows, or escalating incidents to accelerate SOC efficiency.
  • The solution enriches security signals with enterprise context, helping SOC teams keep pace with business operations and modern threats.
  • Available in the UiPath Solutions Marketplace for easy discovery, deployment, and integration with existing Microsoft security investments.
  • Designed for enterprise scale, it supports safe adoption of agentic automation by embedding governance and compliance into workflows.

The new capability bridges UiPath's agentic automation platform with Microsoft's security ecosystem, allowing organizations to apply automation across business processes without compromising security. By automating threat handling at the point where work occurs, it provides enhanced visibility, faster remediation, and reduced operational risk.

Automating Threat Detection and Enrichment

Files and signals generated from UiPath-automated workflows are automatically scanned via Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Relevant findings are enriched with business-specific context before being forwarded to Microsoft Sentinel, enabling more accurate prioritization and investigation.

Guided Response with Human-in-the-Loop

Security analysts use Microsoft Security Copilot for assisted analysis of enriched artifacts and data. This guided approach ensures informed decision-making while maintaining human oversight for critical actions.

Accelerating Remediation Actions

Once threats are identified, UiPath orchestrates automated follow-up responses, including quarantining malicious files, temporarily halting affected workflows, or escalating incidents to appropriate teams. These actions help lower MTTR and improve overall security operations center (SOC) productivity.

“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 organization, 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, Managing Director Solutions, Software Companies, Microsoft EMEA.

“Security teams need solutions that move at the speed of modern threats,” said Steven Spirou, Senior Product Manager, 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.”

The solution is now available through the UiPath Solutions Marketplace, enabling seamless integration for organizations already invested in Microsoft security tools. This partnership reinforces UiPath's focus on secure, governed agentic automation that aligns with enterprise compliance and operational needs.
