MSFT1.13%
According to Beating, Microsoft's new security chief Hayete Gallot is restructuring the company's over 10,000-person security division, replacing at least 8 former executives and cutting hundreds of positions. The company is shifting resources toward Security Copilot, code vulnerability scanning, and AI Agent management tools, while reducing investment in legacy threat detection products like Sentinel. Defender remains a core priority. Microsoft also deployed MDASH, an automated vulnerability discovery tool inspired by Anthropic's AI security products, to scan Windows. In July, Microsoft patched a record 622 vulnerabilities, with gains partly attributed to MDASH.
