SIDE: Sensor Impersonation Detection at the Edge via Sequence Prediction

Some low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) sensor deployments lack device-level source authentication, leaving them vulnerable to impersonation or injected sensor readings. We present a lightweight approach to sensor impersonation detection in a small proof-of-concept study. We formulate detection as a sequence-prediction...

It is Not Yet Another Tool: Creating and Deploying an Agentic AI Companion in a Security Operations Center

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) process large amounts of tickets, most of which are low-interest events not worthy of further investigation. The repetitive nature of this task and similarity of the vast amounts of tickets make it a prime candidate for generative AI-based automation. We created and deployed an agenti...

Scratchy: Visual-Scratchpad Multimodal Reasoning for Cryptographic Proof Generation in EasyCrypt

Scratchy is presented, a visual-scratchpad approach that exposes proof-theoretic dependencies for multimodal generation in large language models and suggests that explicit proof structure can make the improvement and multimodal proof-state representation as a promising direction for computer-aided cryptography.

SCRIPTIOC-BENCH: A Benchmark for Recognizing Actionable Threat Intelligence from Script-Based Malware using LLMs

This work presents SCRIPTIOC-BENCH, a benchmark for measuring static IOC extraction capability on real-world malicious scripts, and evaluates a broad range of proprietary and open-weight LLMs, showing that IOC recovery without execution remains challenging across model scales.

Evaluating Deep-Search Agents under Hierarchical Web Evidence Poisoning

HAE-GEO is introduced, a benchmark that tracks the full trajectory from exposure to recovery under progressively more persuasive Web poisoning and finds three recurring patterns: evidence recognition degrades under the corroboration trap, agentic search improves final resistance without improving evidence recognition o...

Versioned Transitive Dependency-Closure Binding and Operation-Time Effect Governance for Agent Skills: ClosureBound

This work presents ClosureBound, a reference monitor that prevents authorization transfer across material changes to this heterogeneous closure, and establishes metadata non-authority, closure determinism, version non-inheritance, effect non-amplification, bound-value freshness, and path invariance.

Structurally Close, Temporally Distant: Measuring Security Exposure in Long-Horizon LLM Agents

A provenance-aware execution graph linking agent events through deterministic state, identifier, and tool provenance is introduced, and influence distance is defined as the shortest structural path from an untrusted source to a sensitive action.

SAFEGuard: Detect Optimization-Based Jailbreak Attacks Through Harmful Semantic Analysis and Fluency Measurement

This work proposes a unified detection framework SAFEGuard which incorporates a hybrid fluency measurement based on cross-layer distribution distance and perplexity, and the analysis of harmful semantics through gradient matching, and demonstrates the effectiveness of SAFEGuard against evolving jailbreak attacks.

Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation

Critical flaws, compromised release channels and agentic AI threats landed within days of each other in mid-October 2026. Why “Black October” may say more about how well we now find weaknesses than about the attacks themselves. The post Black October? The Week AI Changed the Cybersecurity Conversation appeared first on GPT-Lab.
