Microsoft Security Copilot Pricing for Intune 2025
Why Security Copilot Is a Game-Changer for Intune Users
As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, IT teams require more advanced tools to stay ahead. Microsoft Security Copilot, now integrated with Microsoft Intune, brings AI-powered insights to endpoint management—helping you detect threats, analyze configurations, and automate responses faster than ever.
Whether you’re managing thousands of devices or just a few, Security Copilot enhances your security posture with real-time intelligence and automation.
Understanding Security Copilot Pricing: SCUs Explained
Unlike traditional per-user licensing, Security Copilot uses a compute-based pricing model built around Security Compute Units (SCUs).
| SCU Type | Rate | Billing | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Provisioned SCU | $4/hour | Billed monthly (even if unused) | Predictable, continuous workloads |
| Overage SCU | $6/hour | Billed only when used | On-demand, burst usage |
This model gives IT teams flexibility to scale based on actual usage—ideal for dynamic environments or seasonal workloads.
Monthly Cost Scenarios for IT Teams
Here’s what typical usage might look like:
- 24/7 usage of 1 SCU: ~$2,880/month
- 8 hours/day, weekdays only: ~$640/month
- On-demand (e.g., 10 hours/month): ~$60/month
You can mix provisioned and overage SCUs to optimize cost and performance.
