SafeCOMM: What about Safety Alignment in Fine-Tuned Telecom Large Language Models?

Fine-tuning large language models LLMs for telecom tasks and datasets is a common practice to adapt general-purpose models to the telecom domain. However, little attention has been paid to how this process may compromise model safety. Recent research has shown that even benign fine-tuning can...

GeneBreaker: Jailbreak Attacks against DNA Language Models with Pathogenicity Guidance

DNA, encoding genetic instructions for almost all living organisms, fuels groundbreaking advances in genomics and synthetic biology. Recently, DNA Foundation Models have achieved success in designing synthetic functional DNA sequences, even whole genomes, but their susceptibility to jailbreaking...

Lifelong Safety Alignment for Language Models

LLMs have made impressive progress, but their growing capabilities also expose them to highly flexible jailbreaking attacks designed to bypass safety alignment. While many existing defenses focus on known types of attacks, it is more critical to prepare LLMs for unseen attacks that may arise duri...

MTSA: Multi-Turn Safety Alignment for LLMs through Multi-Round Red-Teaming

Whitepaper called MTSA: Multi-Turn Safety Alignment For LLMs Through Multi-Round Red-Teaming...

Analysing Safety Risks in LLMs Fine-Tuned with Pseudo-Malicious Cyber Security Data

The integration of large language models LLMs into cyber security applications presents significant opportunities, such as enhancing threat analysis and malware detection, but can also introduce critical risks and safety concerns, including personal data leakage and automated generation of new...

AiXamine: Simplified LLM Safety and Security

Evaluating Large Language Models LLMs for safety and security remains a complex task, often requiring users to navigate a fragmented landscape of ad hoc benchmarks, datasets, metrics, and reporting formats. To address this challenge, we present aiXamine, a comprehensive black-box evaluation...

X-Teaming: Multi-Turn Jailbreaks and Defenses with Adaptive Multi-Agents

Multi-turn interactions with language models LMs pose critical safety risks, as harmful intent can be strategically spread across exchanges. Yet, the vast majority of prior work has focused on single-turn safety, while adaptability and diversity remain among the key challenges of multi-turn...
