LLM-Based Agents for Software and Systems Security: Approaches, Applications, and Assessment

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 28, 2026 · UTC

Software and systems security workflows are typically procedural: analysts inspect heterogeneous artifacts, form hypotheses, invoke tools, interpret outputs, and revise plans. Large language model (LLM)-based agents, which can plan, use tools, retain state, and revise actions across multi-step workflows, are being rapidly adopted to automate this work. Given the consequences of delegating security decisions to autonomous systems, understanding how such agents are built, used, and assessed is crucial. Yet to this date, there remains a lack of systematic understanding of what has been done and h
