Licensing & Pricing

Copilot for Security uses a consumption model based on Security Compute Units (SCU), which are charged at $4 per hour. For example:

40 security staff using it for 1 hour every weekday = 40 (hours) x 22 (days) x 4 (dollars)

40 hours x 22 days = 880 hours per month which is = $3,520 per month.

I feel like for many organisations those numbers will end up being higher in reality.
