Webinar Description
What the event is about
This event is a live webinar hosted by Simbian, focusing on the performance of large language models (LLMs) in Security Operations Centers (SOCs). The session will present findings from the world’s first Cyber Defense Benchmark team, which tested 12 advanced LLMs against 26 real-world attack campaigns. The results revealed a 0% pass rate across 858 runs, highlighting critical failure modes of LLMs in practical SOC scenarios. The event aims to educate security professionals on why current LLMs are insufficient for SOC needs and what specific issues arise when deploying these models in cyber defense environments.
Subject Matter
The main topics include:
– Benchmarking LLMs in cybersecurity
– Real-world attack simulation and defense
– Failure modes of LLMs (reward hacking, constraint bypass, mental math failures, saying-not-doing, agentsplaining)
– MITRE ATT&CK procedures
– The limitations of AI in SOC operations
Niche
The event operates within the Cybersecurity and AI for Security Operations niche, specifically focusing on the intersection of AI/LLMs and SOC effectiveness.
