Microsoft launched Project Perception, an agentic security system designed to identify and address digital vulnerabilities continuously. The system operates at machine speed to convert signals into real-time protections against AI-driven threats.

The company also unveiled MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, its first in-house AI model built specifically for cybersecurity. This specialized model handles high-volume vulnerability detection at a lower cost, escalating complex tasks to more powerful frontier models.

Microsoft aims to make continuous AI-powered defense economically viable as the cost of cyber-offense decreases.
