Trustworthy RAG: An Evaluation Agent for Detecting Misinformation and Knowledge Poisoning in Generative AI Systems

Retrieval-Augmented Generation RAG grounds Large Language Model LLM outputs in external knowledge, but RAG systems usually trust whatever they retrieve, creating a Security-Reliability Gap: high semantic relevance does not guarantee factual truth. Adversaries exploit this through knowledge...

Structured but Fragile: On the Limits of LLMs in Cybersecurity Decision-Making

TGL-APT: Temporal Graph Learning with Graph Distillation for Efficient APT Investigation

Advanced Persistent Threat APT attacks pose a critical challenge to modern systems, as their stealthy, multi-stage nature renders conventional detection methods ineffective. While provenance graphs provide rich behavioral context for attack investigation, attack-relevant evidence is often sparse...

The Claws in Plain Sight: Unauthorized Context Disclosure through LLM Agent Tool Calls

LLM agents routinely construct tool-call arguments from user profiles, conversation history, retrieved documents, and prior tool results. However, legitimate access to contextual information does not imply authorization to transmit that information for every purpose or destination. We present Cla...
