Microsoft previews Project Perception on August 3

Send us Fan Mail Security is shifting from tools that alert to systems that act. Microsoft's Project Perception signals a move toward fully agent-driven defense, where vulnerabilities are found and fixed without waiting on human workflows. This matters because attackers are already operating at machine speed. Teams that still rely on manual triage and response will fall behind. At the same time, protocol changes like MCP going stateless and stricter identity validation are reshaping how these systems are built and secured. Control over machine identity and cryptography is also consolidating into ongoing services, raising new questions about who actually owns trust in your environment. We also cover autonomous agent-led attacks in the wild, major patch volume from Oracle, and signals from Google, NETSCOUT, Cato Networks, and policymakers.
