TRACE is a new benchmark that evaluates the safety of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) across the entire inference pipeline, including prompts, reasoning traces, and final responses. It provides prompts in two languages covering nine risk categories and ten attack strategies, and for each prompt four LRMs generate traces and responses that are annotated for safety with supporting evidence extracted from the source text. Evaluation of 18 guardrail models on TRACE shows that detecting unsafe content in reasoning traces is much harder than in prompts or final responses, and that current models struggle to extract the necessary evidence.
The paper introduces Fact-Ablated Evaluation (FAE), a framework that iteratively removes cited evidence to test whether large language models (LLMs) adjust their fact‑checking predictions accordingly. Experiments reveal that many off‑the‑shelf LLMs rely more on internal knowledge than on the provided evidence. To address this, the authors propose REAL, a training method that uses counterfactual evidence supervision to encourage LLMs to base veracity judgments on evidence, achieving better evidence‑dependent performance across four datasets.

The paper introduces AHLERT, a system that automatically extracts environment-aware hunt leads from Cyber Threat Intelligence reports. It combines a hybrid retriever—dense vector search plus multi-hop knowledge‑graph traversal seeded with MITRE ATT&CK—with ontology‑grounded retrieval‑augmented generation to constrain leads to a defender’s assets. Evaluations on public CTI reports show that AHLERT doubles mean F1 scores and achieves an effectiveness score of ~86.95% compared to off‑the‑shelf LLM models.
