Summary Enterprises are increasingly adopting both generative AI applications and agentic frameworks to unlock robust levels of security automation, visibility, and runtime protection, and the operational efficiencies are astounding. The recent emergence of Frontier models represents the next evolution of AI. It can scan enormous codebases at machine speed to assist defenders in prioritizing existing vulnerabilities and discovering new ones that require critical patching. However, it is abundantly clear that bad actors will also use the same tools to fully automate attack campaigns. The discovery, exploitation, infiltration, compromise, sophistication, and scale of cyberattacks are expected to accelerate exponentially as Frontier AI is weaponized. Additionally, these models are moving beyond simply…

I recently attended Microsoft Security’s Project Perception launch event in San Francisco. The software giant continues to refine its broad cybersecurity platform, offering a diverse set of defensive capabilities across its Entra identity, Defender endpoint, email, and cloud-native application protection suite, Sentinel security operations, Purview data security, and secure service edge network security offerings – all informed by Microsoft’s deep threat intelligence. Project Perception is a logical next step for Microsoft, given the growing threats posed by the weaponization of frontier AI that aims to exploit both known and undiscovered vulnerabilities at machine speed. It is designed to add depth and breadth to Microsoft’s already well-established AI security portfolio, which…
