arXiv:2608. 13608v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic "Continual Learning Harnesses", systems that pair an LLM with retrieval or memory to improve from feedback without retraining, have shown growing value in cybersecurity.
arXiv:2607. 28826v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous Cyber Operations (ACO) are increasingly important for defending enterprise networks as cyber threats continue to evolve in sophistication.
arXiv:2609.22792v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM agents are increasingly used for security tasks: vulnerability discovery, exploit reproduction, and patch generation. Improving them at the model...
arXiv:2606. 15899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-source LLM agent ecosystems are growing rapidly, yet the security of community-contributed skills - modular tool definitions that extend agent capabilities - remains largely unvetted.
arXiv:2607. 04613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents are moving from sandboxed text generators to operators of code, data, and physical infrastructure, and they increasingly learn while deployed.
arXiv:2507.02735v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Prompt injection attacks, where untrusted data contains an injected prompt to manipulate the system, have been listed as the top security thr...
Autonomous cyber defense systems based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) have attracted significant research attention, yet remain evaluated almost exclusively against static, heuristic red agents, leaving their robustness against adaptive threats critically understudied. Meanwhile, recent advances in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) have improved LLM reasoning, but their integration into cybersecurity remains elusive due to the absence of suitable benchmark environments and interaction datasets.
arXiv:2609.24974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agent harnesses, the external systems that mediate model-environment interaction, can substantially improve agent performance, but their gains remain...
arXiv:2606. 25115v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-device language-model agents improve by accumulating experience in retrieved memory rather than by updating weights.
The paper introduces Harness-Aware Distillation (HAD), a method for training smaller language model agents that preserves the surrounding harness—software managing context, tools, and feedback—while focusing distillation on the teacher’s contributions beyond the harness. HAD combines an action preference that contrasts teacher actions with and without harness information, and a validity check that filters out contradictory preference pairs. Experiments on long-horizon agent benchmarks show that HAD outperforms standard on‑policy distillation, reducing unproductive loops and improving error recovery without requiring task rewards or future information.
arXiv:2603. 19423v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external tools (file operations, API calls, database transactions) to autonomously complete complex multi-step tasks.
