Microsoft says AI agents are like insider threats as ‘frontier models can’t be trusted’
Microsoft wants enterprises to closely watch the agents that employees use with systems not controlled by AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.
Microsoft on Monday introduced new security features designed to protect enterprises from the growing threat of AI agents. The launch comes as Microsoft continues to warn enterprises about the dangers of AI and agents.
Perhaps the most notable addition is Guardian Agents , a new feature intended to monitor the AI agents a company uses. Guardian Agents is part of Project Perception, a product introduced in June.
Project Perception was Microsoft’s answer to powerful hacking models like Anthropic’s Mythos and Fable and OpenAI’s security vulnerability scanning system Daybreak. Project Perception originally launched three classes of agents: a “red team” that acted like hackers and attacked, a “blue team” that detected the red team and assessed the vulnerabilities they found, and a “green team” tasked with fixing them.
