Microsoft shifts defense strategy as AI makes hacking abundant and cheap
Source: SiliconANGLE
Microsoft's pivot toward "secure by default" construction acknowledges that vulnerability scarcity—the traditional moat of security—is evaporating. When AI tools commoditize exploit development, defenders can no longer rely on obscurity or patching speed. Security is shifting from reactive incident response to architectural choices made before code ships, forcing companies like Microsoft to redesign how software is built rather than how it's defended after deployment.
