Microsoft is focusing on agentic artificial intelligence (AI) as a key driver for the next phase of its AI growth. The company has announced a reorganization to emphasize agents, which are designed to democratize AI application development by making new, cost-effective models available on its Azure cloud platform as alternatives to larger AI models. Jay Parikh, the head of CoreAI at Microsoft, outlined this vision, highlighting agents' potential to accelerate AI adoption and operational efficiency. This development aligns with broader industry trends, as several companies including Digitate, Postman, Dynatrace, ORO Labs, and Genpact are advancing agentic AI platforms to enhance enterprise automation, security, and innovation. The InfosecurityMag conference (#Infosec2025) has underscored the growing importance of AI in cybersecurity, noting an ongoing arms race between defenders and attackers leveraging AI technologies. Experts emphasize that agentic AI can streamline security and network operations, address talent shortages, and improve outcomes in cybersecurity and business operations. Additionally, new AI-native development modes, such as Postman's Agent Mode, are revolutionizing API lifecycle management, further illustrating the expanding role of agentic AI in various technology sectors.
