What happened
A Microsoft Security Blog collection (Feb 10–26, 2026) highlighting AI- and agent-era risks and defensive guidance. Key items: guidance for threat modeling AI applications and managing agentic systems; a developer-targeting campaign abusing malicious Next.js repositories to achieve a covert RCE→C2 chain; guidance on detecting and mitigating common agent misconfigurations and runtime/isolation risks (OpenClaw/self-hosted agents); resources on scaling SOCs with Microsoft Defender autonomous defense, SIEM/visibility guidance, and proactive exposure management. The content stresses supply-chain and build-time attack vectors, identity/isolation controls for agent runtimes, and operational changes required to secure agent-enabled, AI-driven workflows.
