Woofun AI reports that Microsoft is restructuring its security division under new Chief Security Officer Hayete Gallot, resulting in the replacement of at least eight executives and the elimination of hundreds of positions. The company is redirecting resources toward Security Copilot, code vulnerability scanning, and AI Agent management, while scaling back investment in traditional products like Sentinel and elevating Defender.

Microsoft has developed MDASH, a tool inspired by Anthropic’s approach that uses multiple models to automatically identify vulnerabilities, contributing to a record 622 patches in July. This strategic pivot aims to capture enterprise budget for AI security solutions before competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI dominate the sector.
