  • Red, Blue, Green agents: Red agents simulate attacker paths and find weaknesses; Blue agents assess risk and prioritize incidents; Green agents apply fixes, write patches, and harden systems.
  • MAI-Cyber-1-Flash: Microsoft's purpose-built cyber model runs at lower cost and helps automate security tasks, improving efficiency for SOC workflows.
  • Machine-speed defense: Project Perception speeds vulnerability discovery, enables continuous investigation and remediation, lowers operational cost, and keeps humans in control of key decisions.
  • Rollout and integration: Public preview begins August 3, 2026, with initial availability tied to Microsoft Defender and a staged expansion across other Microsoft security tools and workflows.
