I’m pretty staunchly opposed to the use of generative AI\u2014for me, it’s the one-two punch of dubiously sourced datasets and the argument that these models can replace the human creatives they so often rip off. That said, even I’m a little bit intrigued by AI’s application in cybersecurity.<\/p>\n

Case in point, Microsoft recently shared<\/a> that it is deploying AI to “identify [issues] faster, prioritize risk, and scale vulnerability discovery across the Windows codebase” as well as “reduce the time between discovery and customer protection.” Specifically, Microsoft Security leverages a multi-model agentic scanning harness<\/a>\u2014or MDASH, for short.<\/p>\n

MDASH uses multiple different AI models, including “leading third-party AI vulnerability discovery models,” on dedicated Cloud infrastructure to scan for vulnerabilities within Windows. <\/p>\n
