With Copilot for Security released on 1 April, we thought we should bring some real experience of trying it out from one of the top MVPs in Security. Ru Campbell (Twitter, LinkedIn) joined us to talk about:

- What is Copilot Security?
- What is it used for and by who?
- How has his experience with it been compared with the marketing?

This was a great chat that cut through into the reality of using Copilot for Security to help with right of bang and left of bang (listen to find out what that means!) as well as how the product will evolve over time.
