arXiv preprint · April 2026 · Chona, Kozlov, Kumar (lead author)
The only public benchmark for AI in security operations. It measures how well LLM agents perform the core SOC analyst task of threat hunting - and shows frontier models topping out around 45% on real security tasks. It anchors how I think about building agents that improve past that ceiling.
