Open-weight model

SecurityLLM

An open AI model for cyber security work, like spotting threats and writing up what they mean. It runs fully offline on a small desktop, so sensitive details never leave your network.

SecurityLLM

SecurityLLM is an open AI model tuned for cyber security. Security work means finding weak spots, reading attack reports, and explaining what a threat does and how to stop it. A lot of that text is sensitive, so this model does its thinking fully offline, and nothing leaves your network.

What it can do

It answers security questions in plain words, sums up threat reports, and walks through how an attack works and how to defend against it. It is built on ZySec-AI’s SecurityLLM, an open model already trained on security material, and packed into ready-to-run files so it starts fast on a single desktop.

How well it works

We scored five builds on CyberMetric, a 50-question security quiz, on a small Spark desktop. The surprise: the smallest, fastest build (Q4_K_M) scored the best at 40 percent and ran at about 48 tokens a second. The full-size build was both slower and a touch behind. So the cheap build is the one to run. The table above has every build.

These scores come from a short quiz, not a full audit. Treat the model as a fast helper for security questions, and always check its answers against trusted sources before you act.

How to run it

Download the GGUF files (the ready-to-run format) and run them with llama.cpp on a Spark-class desktop, a small AI machine with 128 GB of memory. Start with the Q4_K_M build: it is the fastest here and scored highest on our test.
