As frontier models advance in cyber capability, their guardrails also become more restrictive. Defenders relying on these models to power core SOC processes cannot afford to pay the “safety penalty” of being blocked by these safeguards. Organizations should monitor model refusal rates and use the data to create a strategy to ensure operational sovereignty.The allure of the cloud and the hidden "safety penalty" Cybersecurity has made a big bet on cloud-hosted AI. Building and running frontier…
