Microsoft’s patch Tuesdays are about to get bigger
Windows 11 updates could soon include fixes for more security issues at once. Microsoft said in a blog post on Thursday that it's now using AI to "identify potential issues earlier," which means "customers will see a higher volume of security updates included in each security release." Hackers, even amateurs, have increasingly been using AI to quickly exploit security weaknesses over the past several months. Security researchers are also using AI to find issues faster, leading
Microsoft is using AI to identify security vulnerabilities earlier in its development process, which means it will release a higher volume of security fixes in each update. This matters because hackers have increasingly been using AI to exploit security weaknesses quickly, while security researchers are also using AI to find vulnerabilities faster, leading to more frequent high-severity issues. Microsoft is updating its security development approach to account for AI-enabled attack techniques and is investing in AI tools to help generate and validate security fixes, though human developers will still verify findings and make final decisions about updates.

AI agents carry memory and storage like people, so their data needs guarding while in use
As AI agents move into production on Kubernetes, cloud engineering teams at financial companies face a security problem that encryption alone can’t solve. Container orchestration has become the default foundation for AI workloads, and the data those agents use is now the main target. Payment networks feel that pressure more than most because every transaction […] The post AI agents carry memory and storage like people, so their data needs guarding while in use appeared first on Silic
