Empirical evaluations reveal a fundamental brittleness in existing defenses: with a single trainable 7B planner, Trident reduces blue agent defensive performance by an average of 522% compared to static red agent baselines while autonomously discovering emergent behaviors such as decoy avoidance and adaptive state prio...

A detailed overview of the security risks associated with adversarial attacks is offered, including evasion attacks carried out at inference time, data poisoning that corrupts the training process, backdoor insertion that hides dormant triggers inside a model, and model inversion that leaks private information back out...

Genomic language models (GLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for learning representations of DNA sequences, enabling advances in variant prediction, regulatory element identification, and cross-task transfer learning. However, as these models are increasingly trained or fine-tuned on sensitive genomic cohorts, they ri...

The proposed Diff-DDoS framework, a three-phase framework for realistic attack synthesis and robust detection using tabular diffusion models, supports tabular diffusion models for stress-testing and hardening intrusion detectors in data-scarce 5G cyber-physical deployments.

This work proposes MemCatalyst, a set of data poisoning tools, aiming to amplify the data auditing performance on VLMs, and forces VLMs to over-learn specific inconsistencies between image features and textual semantics during training, thereby increasing their susceptibility to membership information auditing.

Reflex-Guard is introduced, a lightweight guardrail that runs locally that uses jailbreak-aware preprocessing, compact sentence-transformer embeddings, and seven fast binary classifiers that enable high-accuracy prompt safety filtering with much lower latency than existing solutions.

Motivated by a conjecture of Vaikuntanathan and Zamir, we study the pseudo-mixing of Kac's walk on $\mathrm{SO}(n)$: whether short trajectories are indistinguishable from Haar measure by low-complexity tests. We prove that the first $k$ columns mix in Wasserstein distance in $O(n(k+\log n)\log n)$ steps for fixed accur...

A comparative study of four audits applicable to pre-trained, black-box face generators, which consistently reveal substantial identity distinguishability while reporting markedly different epsilon estimates that reflect each method's distinct assumptions and finite-sample treatment.

A DT-based IDS that jointly models physical relationships among decoded powertrain signals and identifies attacks through residuals between predicted and observed behavior shows promise for detecting stealthy payload-level CAN attacks that preserve normal communication patterns, supporting behavior-based cybersecurity...

Research Manager Mike Walker reflects on a career spanning hacker culture, cybersecurity, and AI, sharing lessons about trust, teamwork, leadership, and why solving difficult problems requires curiosity, judgment, agility—and an understanding of the rules. The post Learn the rules: The hacker mindset appeared first on Microsoft Research.
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.
