AI-powered defense for an AI-accelerated threat landscape
Microsoft's Security Blog outlines how AI is accelerating the offensive threat landscape, with models now capable of autonomously discovering vulnerabilities and chaining lower-severity issues into functional exploits with working proof-of-concept code. The post frames this as an inflection point requiring AI-native defensive responses. While promotional in tone, it reflects an industry-wide acknowledgment that AI-enabled attack automation is outpacing traditional detection capabilities.
