Help Net Security finds guardrails beat models

- Researchers found that in LLM security workflows, the layout of tools, policies and guardrails mattered more than which foundation model was used for alert triage. - The report singled out structured tool boundaries, deterministic handoffs and policy checks as the decisive features improving triage accuracy. - That suggests platform teams should prioritise control planes, auditable workflows and tool-level constraints rather than chasing frontier models.
