Forecast Trend Report by Period
Microsoft is preparing a product that uses artificial intelligence to identify software security vulnerabilities and automatically fix them.
The new product will use multiple AI models simultaneously to analyze software code and detect bugs, The Information reported on July 16. It will also verify the cause of flaws it finds and generate code to fix them.
The product may incorporate Microsoft’s in-house AI vulnerability detection system, MDASH. The security AI system combines high-performance reasoning models with lower-cost lightweight models to scan code, verify vulnerabilities and remove duplicates. That approach reduces reliance on any single AI model while improving detection speed and accuracy. Microsoft has said MDASH previously found 16 new vulnerabilities in Windows networking and authentication systems.
The new product is set to compete with Anthropic’s cybersecurity-focused AI model Claude Mitos. Mitos is currently available only to a limited number of vetted companies and institutions because of concerns about potential misuse.
