Meet Security Agent: Your AI-Powered Security Sidekick in Power Pages
Securing websites can be tricky, especially if you’re not a web security pro. Microsoft’s new Security Agent in Power Pages aims to change that. Now in public preview, this AI-driven assistant helps you keep your sites safe with automated scans, real-time monitoring, and smart recommendations—all built right into the Power Pages design studio.
What’s New in Security Agent?
The Security Agent offers two main features that make securing your site easier than ever:
- Automated Security Scanning: Every two weeks, it runs checks against 37 industry-standard rules based on OWASP. It spots common issues like missing security headers, exposed info, or cross-site scripting risks.
- Live Traffic Monitoring: By leveraging Microsoft Sentinel signals and historical traffic patterns, it detects unusual spikes, suspicious access, or bot activity in real time.
For each issue found, the agent provides clear, step-by-step guidance so you can fix problems confidently and quickly.
Major Updates and How They Help You
The Security Agent centralizes all alerts and findings in one dashboard. You can customize notifications to appear inside Power Pages Studio, via email, or through Microsoft Teams. This flexibility means you never miss a critical security alert.
Importantly, you get to choose which features to enable based on your site’s unique needs. This tailored approach ensures you’re not overwhelmed with unnecessary info.
Security Built Into Your Workflow
Security is no longer an afterthought. The Security Agent integrates security checks directly into your build process. Issues pop up as you create your site, along with practical fixes you can apply immediately.
