One signal

Microsoft says MAI Cyber 1.1 Flash delivers performance comparable to its predecessor while costing 18% less per scan in the company’s internal MDASH vulnerability-scanning evaluation.

The model is built into MDASH, Microsoft’s multi-agent vulnerability identification and remediation system. The claimed saving could make repeated security scans cheaper, though the comparison is Microsoft’s own evaluation, not an independent benchmark. A lower bill for similar results is a useful improvement. The next question is whether that holds up on real-world scans, not just the company’s test suite.

Discuss: Would an 18% saving be enough to switch security tools if the evidence came only from the vendor’s own evaluation?
