What happened
Microsoft Security Blog posts (May 7–14, 2026) covering emerging AI and infrastructure threats and defenses. Key topics: defense-in-depth for autonomous AI agents and agentic security design; prompt-injection and RCE risks in AI agent frameworks; exploitable misconfigurations in cloud-native/Kubernetes AI apps leading to RCE and data leaks; a new multi-model agentic security system (MDASH) for faster AI-driven detection; research on AI-assisted synthetic attack-log generation to accelerate detection engineering; analysis of Kazuar, a modular P2P nation-state botnet attributed to Secret Blender
