DP-SGD protects training data by adding Gaussian noise to clipped gradients. The amount of noise is usually chosen by running a numerical privacy accountant inside a search. We study DP-SGD with random allocation, where each epoch uses every record once, at a randomly chosen step. For this setting we give a one-line fo...
Does removing harmful information make open-weight models resistant to fine-tuning attacks? We show that mutual information at release alone cannot universally certify slow recovery. Function-preserving reparameterizations leave information unchanged while altering gradient-descent geometry, so an invariant certificate...
Backdoor attacks pose a serious threat to large language models (LLMs) by causing otherwise benign systems to produce attacker-specified malicious behavior when a hidden trigger is present. In this work, we study post hoc detoxification of backdoored LLMs in a practical setting where the defender has access to the pois...
Banks face two threat families with fundamentally different detection requirements: signature-based fraud (card- not-present attacks, account takeover, ATM cloning) and behavioural financial crime (structuring, layering, mule networks, business email compromise). Static rule engines catch high-velocity events but remai...

LLM-based Agents are becoming increasingly capable and widely deployed, creating growing incentives for adversarial misuse in the real-world. A key emerging threat is Decomposition Attacks \cite{glukhov2024breach, jones2024adversaries} in which a harmful task is broken into simpler, benign subtasks that evade safety me...
World models have recently seen a rapid growth in both their popularity and capability as more data efficient tools for generating robot training data or simulating real world environments, with many works proposing their integration into the robot learning pipeline. While highly practical, in this work we demonstrate...
Model providers increasingly release the weights of large language models. Although these models are safety-aligned before release, their safeguards can often be removed by fine-tuning on harmful data. A growing class of defenses aims to make alignment robust to such malicious fine-tuning, but these defenses are typica...
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge, but this access path creates security risks distinct from inherent prompt-only or parametric-model flaws. We frame secure RAG as securing external knowledge access. We conducted a systematic search and curated 135 works...
Fine-tuning-as-a-service enables users to adapt aligned large language models (LLMs) to specialized tasks, but malicious fine-tuning can erode refusal behavior while preserving task performance on legitimate inputs. We revisit recent layer-wise safety diagnostics and find that safety sensitivity is signed: scaling diff...
Security Operations Centers (SOCs) for information technology and operational technology share one incident-response problem: a flood of correlated alerts and too few analysts. Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly proposed as reasoning engines that triage alerts and, in autonomous deployments, issue commands t...
Feedback from automated testing, human red teaming, and incident response can strengthen an AI system's defenses when discovered failures lead to effective repairs. We study when this feedback process provides sufficient protection and when investing in it is economically worthwhile. We begin by showing that an attack...
Forensic reconstruction of LLM-agent actions requires not only recovering the correct value, but establishing which preserved record supports that finding. Tool logs, generated explanations, and local citation identifiers capture different parts of this evidence, yet a citation identifier does not establish a source un...
