Episode notes
SecLM's Purpose
- General-purpose LLMs often struggle with security tasks due to training data limitations and safety restrictions.
- They avoid sensitive topics like malware analysis, sometimes advising users to consult professionals.
Security Personas and LLM Alignment
- Security professionals, unlike the average user, have varying preferences for LLM interactions.
- Threat intel analysts prefer nuanced outputs, while SOC analysts need concise, actionable advice.
SecLM Architecture
- SecLM isn't just a model; it's a system using multiple LLMs, other ML models, and reasoning capabilities.
- It routes tasks to the best-suited component, optimizing performance for various security needs.
