REFINE is introduced, an LLM-agent framework for enterprise alert triage that enforces recall = 1.0 as a hard constraint during evolution to maximize auto-closure of false positives, and identifies judgment blind spots by combining alert distributions with model error boundaries.

An agent harness, the code that turns a model into an agent, writes its own record of each run, and that record is all a later reader gets when a run is disputed, investigated or audited. We call a record evidentiary when a reader who was not there can check it without trusting the writer. Across sixteen deployed frame...

CyberProvenance is proposed, an agent cyber harness designed for multi-agents that augments LLM agents with evidence accumulation, execution-based validation, and feedback-guided refinement mechanisms for reliable attack-chain provenance.

Results show that two-stage defense feedback can serve as a useful learning signal for adaptive red teaming and that evaluating either defense stage in isolation can miss the resulting attack capability.

This work proposes ER-Audit, a two-stage black-box auditing framework that compares frozen verifier checkpoints before and after adaptation, and introduces two evaluation benchmarks pairing monitored and hidden task prompts grounded in shared contexts.

It is shown that a model publisher can train an agent that earns both merit and malicious behavior, and is detectable by three distinct methods, which differ mainly in what a defender needs to run them.

This work introduces CyberWorld, a Dreamer-style world modeling framework that learns latent cyber dynamics from vector, graph, textual, and multimodal representations of the defended network, and identifies world representation as a central design axis for robustness and scalability.

This work presents, to its knowledge, the first unified measurement study and public benchmark of encrypted LLM traffic across both user--LLM and multi-agent executions, and assess the risk of traffic analysis attack by characterizing traffic signatures, identifying the features most associated with leakage, and testin...

Collaborative medical AI platforms allow researchers to train models on sensitive imaging data while restricting data export. However, trained models can serve as covert carriers of patient information: medical images may be encoded within model parameters and reconstructed outside the secure environment. Existing defe...

Recent work suggests that obscure language registers can weaken large language model refusal behavior, especially when paired with black-box prompt optimization. It remains unclear whether failures stem from non-standard surface form, culturally grounded framing, or optimization over an expressive prompt-strategy space...
The Pareto frontier between the two defense objectives is characterized, and both rates are confirmed on seven binary-classification tasks spanning tabular, image, and language-model-feature inputs: label-plus-counterfactual access extracts the boundary with up to $200\times$ fewer queries than a published label-only b...
This work introduces artifact-mediated propagation, where adversarial content introduced through an artifact is stored in an assistant's persistent memory, reproduced in a subsequently created artifact, and acquired by another assistant that later reads it.

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.
