Domain-adapted LLMs show mixed results for 5G threat modeling

Researchers evaluated domain-adapted language models for threat modeling in 5G security using the STRIDE approach. Their empirical study, involving 52 configurations across 8 language models, found that domain adaptation did not consistently improve performance over general-purpose models. Decoding strategies and model scale showed significant impact, but larger models did not guarantee reliable threat modeling, suggesting a need for better task-specific reasoning and security grounding.

    Threat Modelling using Domain-Adapted Language Models: Empirical Evaluation and Insights

    Large Language Models(LLMs) are increasingly explored for cybersecurity applications such as vulnerability detection. In the domain of threat modelling, prior work has primarily evaluated a number of general-purpose Large Language Models under limited prompting settings. In this …
