Microsoft talked up a new artificial intelligence model for spotting cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The move marks the company's first major push to rejuvenate its cybersecurity business since it brought back Google executive Hayete Gallot to run the unit. When paired with OpenAI's general-purpose GPT-5.4, Microsoft's MAI-Cyber-1-Flash outperforms Anthropic's Mythos 5, Google's 3.5 Flash Cyber and OpenAI's GPT-5.5 Cyber on the CyberGym benchmark, the company said. "We have world-leading performance at 50% of the cost," Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, said at an event the company held in San Francisco. The generative model is the software maker's first for cybersecurity. It will work in its Project Perception, a collection of AI agents for discovering and fixing weaknesses that becomes available in public preview starting Aug. 3, according to a blog post from Gallot.
