Microsoft plans to launch a new AI-powered cybersecurity tool in July 2026. Internally codenamed Project Perception, the product will automatically detect and remediate software vulnerabilities.
The tool employs a multi-model approach. It integrates technology from OpenAI and Anthropic alongside Microsoft’s proprietary AI.
This launch represents a strategic overhaul of Microsoft’s security business to prioritize AI-driven solutions. The company currently uses an internal bug-hunting system named MDASH to identify flaws in Windows software.
Microsoft aims to capture a larger share of corporate cyber defense spending. The new commercial offering provides a defense against increasingly sophisticated AI-powered threats.
