Microsoft has released a record number of security patches, citing the use of AI to help uncover previously unknown vulnerabilities. The tech giant patched 570 bugs this week, with at least two classified as zero-days, highlighting the ongoing challenge in keeping software secure.

The biggest risk: one bug affecting Windows Server could allow hackers to gain full administrative access. CISA has warned that hackers are actively exploiting another vulnerability in SharePoint, which could compromise organisations' data security.

According to Microsoft’s Pavan Davuluri, AI is playing a crucial role in identifying these issues. As these models advance, they may reveal dormant vulnerabilities from decades-old code. But with great tech comes great responsibility – staying vigilant remains key.

The surge in patches follows last week's announcement from Microsoft that it expected its usual security update cycle to be more extensive than before due to improved AI tools. It’s a clear sign of the evolving landscape in cybersecurity, where technology is both the problem and the solution.
