InfoQ Reading List
Microsoft Introduces MDASH for Large-Scale AI Vulnerability Research
Microsoft has introduced a new AI-driven vulnerability discovery system called MDASH, a multi-model agentic security platform designed to automate large-scale code auditing across Windows and other Microsoft software environments. The system combines more than 100 specialized AI agents that work together to scan, validate, debate, and prove vulnerabilities across complex codebases.

Schema proliferation builds slowly and gets expensive fast. One schema per event type feels right until there are ten tables, union queries spanning all of them, and a single field rename touching every schema. Discriminator-based schema consolidation collapses that to two tables, turning multi-table unions into a single query, while new variants are additive and don't break existing consumers.

Sergiu Petean discusses the strategic journey of evolving DevOps into platform engineering within heavily regulated enterprise environments. He explains how to maximize efficiency using dynamic reference architectures, align platform KPIs directly with board-level business goals, reduce cognitive load via custom team topologies, and maintain innovation sovereignty through open-source technology.
