A cybersecurity evaluation measures offensive or defensive capability through tasks such as vulnerability discovery, exploitation, incident analysis or remediation. A percentage without the task distribution and operating conditions says very little.

A cybersecurity evaluation measures offensive or defensive capability through tasks such as vulnerability discovery, exploitation, incident analysis or remediation. A percentage without the task distribution and operating conditions says very little.

Agentic cyber evaluations are especially sensitive to tool access, target realism, time budget, network policy, hints and scoring. Removing safeguards may be appropriate when measuring maximum capability, but the resulting score is not automatically a prediction of product behavior in a contained deployment.

Always ask what the model could touch, how long it could try and what counted as success.
