The posting

Overview

The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) works to protect customers and Microsoft from current and emerging threats to security and privacy. Within MSRC, our AI Vulnerabilities and Mitigations team analyzes all reported security vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s AI and agentic systems and develops new mitigations through deep research.

Some of our team’s recent research and collaborations include:

  • The Nine Dimensions of Prompt Injection Attacks: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2611.04672
  • Securing AI Agents with Information-Flow Control (NeurIPS’26): https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.23643
  • VerifiableFL: Verifiable Claims for Federated Learning using Exclaves (SoCC’26): https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.10537

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
