What happened
Collection of Microsoft Security Blog posts (May 7–14, 2026) covering emerging AI and infrastructure threats and defenses. Key themes: defense-in-depth for increasingly autonomous AI agents and the need for identity and human oversight; exploitable misconfigurations in cloud-native AI apps (Kubernetes) that can lead to RCE and data leakage; prompt-injection chains in AI agent frameworks that can result in remote code execution; Microsoft’s new multi-model agentic scanning system (MDASH) for AI-speed defense; research on generating synthetic attack logs to accelerate detection engineering; an A
