- Harnesses are crucial AI tools in cybersecurity, enabling bespoke control and integration of LLMs for attack and defense.
- Research by Cato Networks shows that a harness paired with GPT models can execute full attack chains autonomously in minutes.
- Enterprises like Tenable and Proofpoint develop harnesses (e.g., Hexa, Satori) to manage LLM performance and ensure operational safety.
- Harnesses provide necessary context and data, surpassing the importance of frontier models alone in cybersecurity applications.
- The cybersecurity community and likely cybercriminals are rapidly adopting harness technology for AI-driven cyber operations.
