Microsoft's new head of security operations, Hayete Gallot, is restructuring the security sector

On 16 July, it was reported that the new head of Microsoft's security operations, Hayete Gallot, was restructuring the security sector for over 10,000 people. At least 8 former heads of administration were replaced and hundreds of positions were cut off from recent reductions. Microsoft redirects resources to the Security Copilot, Code Hole Scan and AIAgent Management Tool. Businesses such as the traditional threat detection product Sentinel reduce inputs and the core terminal safety product Defender is given higher priority. Microsoft is also using Anthony's AI safety product. The new tool MDASH, which automatically searchs for holes in multiple models, has been used to check Windows. Microsoft repaired a record number of 622 loopholes in July, claiming that the increase was due in part to MDASH. This round of adjustments is directly aimed at business concerns about AI attacks. Microsoft would like to use an AI security tool to pull the acceleration, while avoiding Anthropic and OpenAI stealing the new budget。
