Findings and evidence

Check Point Research evaluates a small set of crafted inputs against resource-constrained AI policy checks and a stronger downstream model. The study illustrates a mismatch between what a screening stage notices and what later processing interprets.

Why it matters

Security evaluations should measure the entire application boundary, including downstream actions and output review. Record model versions, evaluation settings and failure criteria when comparing defenses.

Scope and limits

The experiments are bounded by their selected prompts and models. Their reported success rates should not be interpreted as a universal failure rate for AI systems or current production configurations.
