First post-compromise incident-response benchmark finds agents fail to proactively investigate silent intrusions
arXiv 2607.26791·low signal
SecRespond benchmarks AI agents on real-world post-compromise incident response and reports that agents struggle to proactively investigate when there is no loud signal to follow — they respond to what they are pointed at rather than hunting. Read alongside the July agent-intrusion post-mortem, it argues against putting an agent on the detection side of your own agent infrastructure without a human-driven hunt loop.
