Microsoft (MSFT<\/a>, Financials<\/a>), the software and cloud computing company<\/a>, introduced its first artificial intelligence model built specifically to find security flaws in source code. <\/p>\n

The model, called MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, will work with OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 inside Project Perception, a group of AI agents designed to detect and repair vulnerabilities. <\/p>\n

Microsoft said the combined system outperformed competing security models on the CyberGym benchmark while operating at about half the cost. <\/p>\n

Project Perception will enter public preview on Aug. 3. The tools can recommend code changes and apply fixes with customer approval. They can also connect with products outside Microsoft’s ecosystem. <\/p>\n

The launch is Microsoft’s first major cybersecurity initiative since Hayete Gallot returned in February to lead the business. <\/p>\n

The company is trying to improve efficiency as cyberattacks become faster and more sophisticated. Generative AI has lowered the cost of both attacking and defending software systems. <\/p>\n

Microsoft has not updated the size of its cybersecurity business since 2023, when annual revenue topped $20 billion. <\/p>\n

The company is also investing more heavily in its own AI models as investors question its reliance on OpenAI and rising infrastructure spending. <\/p>\n

Investors will now watch adoption of Project Perception, cost savings and future cybersecurity revenue growth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
