Microsoft says Windows users should expect to see an increase in security updates as the company increasingly relies on artificial intelligence to discover vulnerabilities in its codebase.
In a blog post published today, Microsoft said advances in AI have significantly accelerated vulnerability discovery, allowing engineers to identify more security issues before they can be exploited in zero-day attacks.
"The pace of vulnerability discovery is changing with advances in AI making it possible to find more issues, faster, across more code, with new mechanisms that can accelerate both discovery and analysis," Microsoft said.
As part of this approach, the company is using Microsoft Security's multi-model agentic scanning harness (MDASH), an AI-powered vulnerability discovery system previously detailed by Microsoft, which scans critical binaries and validates potential vulnerabilities using multiple AI models.
Microsoft says the system scans critical Windows binaries for vulnerabilities and then validates the findings using multiple AI models. Vulnerability candidates are then passed through a second Windows-specific validation pipeline designed to eliminate false positives before engineers investigate the issues.
