Microsoft launches Project Perception, an autonomous cyberdefence system using red/blue/green team agents to continuously detect and block AI agent threats, and expands Defender runtime protections for AI agents in Microsoft 365 to detect prompt injection and unsafe actions in real time.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Microsoft just made AI agents a native security problem inside Microsoft 365 — every enterprise deploying agents now has Defender watching what they actually do at runtime, not just at creation.
