It coordinates three classes of specialized agents — red team (attack path discovery), blue team (risk evaluation), and green team (corrective action) — forming a closed-loop defense system. Built on a new 'Cyber Stack' architecture, it combines signals, security context, a multi-model AI approach, and actuators to enable continuous, machine-speed threat response. A specialized model, MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, is integrated for software vulnerability management, achieving 96% on the CyberGym benchmark with ~50% cost savings over the current configuration. Project Perception enters public preview on August 3. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Project Perception is Microsoft's new agentic security system that coordinates red, blue, and green team AI agents to continuously discover, evaluate, and remediate security risks at machine speed. It is built on a new 'Cyber Stack' architecture spanning signals, security context, models, agents, and actuators, and enters public preview on August 3. _Security teams weighing agentic defense platforms can follow Project Perception coverage on daily.dev._ ### What is MAI-Cyber-1-Flash and how does it perform on vulnerability management? MAI-Cyber-1-Flash is Microsoft's specialized cyber model integrated into MDASH, its software vulnerability multi-model team of agents. This configuration scores 96% on the CyberGym benchmark, 12 points above a comparison model called Mythos, while delivering nearly 50% cost savings compared to the current MDASH configuration in market. _Engineers benchmarking specialized security models against frontier LLMs can track these results on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Redefining Security for the Agentic Era](https://daily.dev/posts/redefining-security-for-the-agentic-era-hvpblwcfj) · Cisco · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AI red teaming comes of age](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-red-teaming-comes-of-age-flzm3plsq) · CSO Online · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#microsoft](https://daily.dev/tags/microsoft), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/rethinking-security-for-the-age-of-ai-98trns1ah) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Rethinking security for the age of AI","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/rethinking-security-for-the-age-of-ai-98trns1ah","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/rethinking-security-for-the-age-of-ai-98trns1ah"},"datePublished":"2026-07-27T16:35:01.355Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T07:51:29.554Z","description":"Microsoft is introducing Project Perception, an agentic security system designed for the AI era.
