CERTID uses the sound and complete causal identification algorithm ID to certify whether an effect is identifiable from a given graph and query, and verifies returned formulas against structural causal models whose interventional distributions are known exactly.
Suppressing a small set of routed experts can weaken the safety behavior of a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model without retraining. Which experts to suppress is therefore a security question, and the usual answer is activation frequency, but frequency measures use, not influence. We test an alternative: ro...

Agent harnesses make many small, typed decisions per task: which model to call, which tool to use, whether retrieved text is relevant, whether an input carries an injection. System-1 decision models answer such questions in a single forward pass with class probabilities, promising large cost and latency savings over LL...
This presentation introduces the emerging paradigm of multi-agentic AI in cybersecurity, where systems evolve from passive tools to autonomous decision-making entities, and presents the concept of a "lethal trifecta of risks that redefine traditional security boundaries.

LLM agents with tool-calling capabilities can access external services and private user data, but they may retrieve more information than a user's request explicitly requires. We study this behavior in structured tool-calling agents and term it proactive over-authorization. This setting differs from filesystem-level co...

AuraForge is introduced to synthesize and validate executable security tests for training secure coding agents, and it is demonstrated that AuraForge provides more diverse and reliable security supervision to train secure coding agents.

Robust detection of AI-generated text under deployment conditions is challenging: distribution shifts across domains and generators, adversarial perturbations of the input surface, and the absence of target-domain labels for threshold calibration all degrade detectors that perform well in-domain. We present DeBERTa-Con...

Training generative machine learning models to produce synthetic tabular data has become a popular approach for enhancing privacy in data sharing. As this typically involves processing sensitive personal information, releasing either the trained model or generated synthetic datasets can still pose privacy risks. Yet, r...
Membership inference attacks (MIAs) are popular methods for empirically assessing the leakage of sensitive information in the training data through models or statistics learned from the data. The MI vulnerability is often evaluated through a binary classifier that tries to predict whether a particular sample was in the...

Adaptive eavesdropping is posed here as a constrained Markov decision process in which the attacker selects one circuit per round while the noise level follows an Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process and the abort condition is a budget over each block of rounds.

With the increasing capabilities of Large-Language-Models (LLMs) and LLM-based agents, users are increasingly using them to solve everyday problems, such as answering e-mails or providing programming support. Existing work has extensively investigated security and privacy risks, such as prompt injections and the disclo...

Cyber attack agents are typically trained and evaluated within a single simulator, making it unclear whether learned policies transfer beyond the environments in which they were developed. This limitation hinders both deployment and fair comparison, as cyber simulators differ substantially in their state representation...

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.
