UiPath Collaborates with Microsoft to Accelerate Security and Confidence for Automated Workflows

Key Terms

agentic automation technical

Agentic automation refers to computer systems that can make decisions and perform tasks on their own, without needing a person to control every step. It’s like a smart robot that can analyze information and act independently, which can help businesses work faster and more efficiently—but also raises questions about oversight and reliability.

security operations center technical

A security operations center is a dedicated team and technology hub that monitors, detects, and responds to cyber threats and data breaches across an organization’s systems — like a 24/7 control room or neighborhood watch for a company’s digital assets. Investors care because effective security operations reduce the chance of costly hacks, lost customer trust, regulatory penalties, and business disruption, all of which can materially affect a company’s financial performance and valuation.

mttr technical

MTTR stands for Mean Time To Repair (sometimes called Mean Time To Recovery) and measures the average time it takes to fix a failed system or restore normal operations after a disruption. For investors, a lower MTTR means a company can bounce back faster from outages or production problems, like a car that gets towed and repaired quickly, which reduces lost sales, reputational damage, and ongoing costs.

human-in-the-loop technical

Human-in-the-loop describes systems where people supervise, check, or make final decisions on work performed by automated tools or algorithms. Like a pilot overseeing an autopilot, humans step in to catch errors, interpret nuance, and apply judgment that machines may miss. For investors, this matters because human oversight can reduce operational and regulatory risk, improve decision quality, and increase trust in results produced by automated systems.

threat intelligence technical

Threat intelligence is actionable information about cyber risks—who might attack, how they operate, and what systems or data are vulnerable—gathered from monitoring networks, software behavior, and public reports. For investors it matters because strong threat intelligence helps a company prevent disruptions, avoid costly breaches and fines, and protect reputation, much like a weather forecast and neighborhood watch help a community prepare for storms and deter crime.

Integration demonstrates the power of agentic automation and security platforms working together to protect modern enterprises

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a global leader in agentic automation, today announced a new security automation capability, built in collaboration with Microsoft, to help organizations accelerate security operations when applying automation to business workflows. The solution automates threat detection, enrichment, and response workflows across Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, and integrated Microsoft threat intelligence.

The combination of UiPath’s enterprise automation platform with Microsoft’s suite of security offerings enriches security detection with business context, ensuring that an enterprise’s security operations center can stay ahead of the pace of business. Security and mitigation efficiency and productivity are elevated, accelerating mean time to resolve (MTTR) and minimizing process and business disruption. Designed for enterprise scale and aligned with Microsoft’s security ecosystem, the solution will be available in the UiPath Solutions Marketplace, making it easy for organizations to discover, deploy, and operationalize UiPath-powered security automation as part of their existing Microsoft security investments.

“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.

Files and signals originating from automated business workflows can 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, reducing mean time to respond and improving overall SOC efficiency.

“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.”
