Microsoft issued a record-breaking 570 security patches during its latest 'Patch Tuesday' update, covering Windows, Office, and other products. Among these, two were zero-day vulnerabilities, including one in SharePoint currently being exploited by attackers, according to CISA. Microsoft explicitly attributed the high volume of findings to its internal use of AI, which is proving highly effective at identifying long-dormant code vulnerabilities. Windows executive Pavan Davuluri noted that as AI capabilities in cybersecurity continue to advance, users should anticipate a consistently higher volume of security updates in future releases.
