First, the models attacked the simulated organisations and planted persistent threats. Then the same models were asked to defend and find what they had planted.

The attackers succeeded in 88% of simulations. The defenders caught 12%. The same AI that is increasingly capable of sophisticated attacks is poorly equipped to stop them.
