Open-source AI models for cybersecurity

Security models help analyze logs and incidents, find vulnerabilities in code and explain detected threats. In this field it is especially important that the model runs inside your perimeter and data stays in-house. Look at the model's specialization, hardware requirements and license terms.

Text analysis2023–2025

ScamLLM

University of Texas at Arlington · USA

A classifier from an IEEE S&P study: it separates ordinary requests to a language model from requests that order text and a page meant to deceive people. A human makes the decision on a disputed operation; automatic blocking without review is not acceptable.

  • Flagging assistant prompts that look like preparation for deception
  • Checking campaign texts before they are sent
  • Filling internal filtering rules with examples

NVIDIA Morpheus (набор моделей)

NVIDIA · USA

An open NVIDIA bundle: a card-transaction graph plus a classifier, a profile of normal user behaviour, log parsing and root-cause search. A human makes the decision on a disputed operation; automatic blocking without review is not acceptable.

  • Highlighting suspicious card operations taking participant links into account
  • Tracking deviations of an account from its usual behaviour
  • Parsing logs and finding the root cause of an incident
Sizes
from a few megabytes (tree-based models) up to BERT-based classifiers

CybersecurityGGUF2023–2025

SecGPT

Clouditera · China

A Chinese open family for cybersecurity: reviewing vulnerabilities, analysing logs and traffic, explaining commands and scripts.

  • Reviewing vulnerabilities and drafting fix recommendations
  • Analysing logs and reconstructing an attack chain
  • Explaining suspicious commands and scripts

Phishing Email Detection DistilBERT

cybersectony · not disclosed

A very light classifier for emails and links showing signs of phishing. It errs in both directions, so borderline emails are still reviewed by a person.

  • Flagging suspicious incoming emails
  • Checking links from correspondence before opening them
  • A first-level filter in a mail gateway

Biglog

Huawei and University of Science and Technology of China (LogAIBox project) · China

A model pretrained on a large volume of logs from different systems: it turns a log line into a vector on top of which failure and outlier detection is fine-tuned. A human makes the decision on a disputed operation; automatic blocking without review is not acceptable.

  • Finding unusual entries in operation logs
  • Grouping similar failure messages
  • Preparing features for an in-house monitoring model

LogPrecis / SecureShellBert

SmartData@PoliTO, Politecnico di Torino · Italy

A pair of models from an Italian university: they read a recorded command session and mark which parts belong to reconnaissance, persistence and other attacker steps. A human makes the decision on a disputed operation; automatic blocking without review is not acceptable.

  • Labelling command logs by stage of activity
  • Grouping similar sessions for incident review
  • Preparing features for server monitoring
