PlannedVersion v0.1·Runtime Threat & Incident Remediation

Runtime Remediation Benchmark

Measures AI models on remediating active runtime threats — live exploit attempts, anomalous behavior, workload quarantine decisions, and compensating-control authoring.

Scope

What this benchmark measures

Correct identification of active vs. dormant threats
Quality of containment recommendations
Appropriate use of compensating controls
Decision-making under partial information
Coordination across detection signals (EDR, network, audit)
Evaluation

Evaluation dimensions

Each model response is judged on these dimensions by an LLM-as-Judge calibrated against expert annotations.

Detection Triage

Does the model correctly distinguish true positives from noise under time pressure?

Containment

Are containment actions proportionate and reversible?

Compensating Controls

Are temporary controls correctly authored when a permanent fix is not yet possible?

Runbook Quality

Is the recommended response sequence clear, ordered, and operator-ready?

Cross-Signal Correlation

Does the model combine EDR, network, and audit signals to scope the incident?

Example

Sample benchmark case

An illustrative case to show how the model is presented with a problem and how its response is scored.

Finding

Suspicious outbound connection from pod payments-api to 185.x.x.x on port 4444; reverse-shell pattern.

Prompt summary

Generate a containment plan. Decide whether to kill the pod, isolate it, or apply a NetworkPolicy.

Ideal answer

Quarantine via NetworkPolicy denying egress except to in-cluster services. Snapshot memory before kill. Trigger incident workflow. Flag CI image for SBOM re-scan.

Scoring note

Suggestions that immediately kill the pod (destroying evidence) are penalized.

Roadmap

Current version: v0.1

All Remediation Labs benchmarks evolve through three versions, increasing in difficulty and realism.

Current
v0.1Finding-only

Models are given the raw security finding and asked to recommend a remediation. No environment context provided.

v0.2Context-aware

Models receive the finding plus relevant system, code, and policy context. Evaluated on contextual reasoning quality.

v0.3Executable remediation

Models must produce a remediation that can be safely executed end-to-end — code patches, IaC changes, runbook steps — with verification.
