Bridging the First-Hour Gap: Evaluating AI Reliability and Benchmarking Deficiencies in Cyber Incident Response for Law Enforcement — AI benchmark

Roshin Sleeba C, Hiran V Nath/Bridging the First-Hour Gap: Evaluating AI Reliability and Benchmarking Deficiencies in Cyber Incident Response for Law EnforcementUnknown

The actions of frontline law enforcement officers in the initial hour of a cyber incident play a vital role in determining the ultimate success of an investigation. The minor mistakes they commit might result in irreversible critical impacts. The integrity of the investigation can be compromised, and the prosecution of cyber criminals can be hindered due to minor mistakes that happen in the initial hour. These are mainly because of the volatile nature of digital artifacts that might lead to procedural errors and evidence attrition. This paper provides a systematic survey of decision-support architectures designed to assist first responders of a cybercrime, categorizing them into playbooks, Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) frameworks, and Agentic AI systems. The survey critically considers the constraints of limited technical proficiency and inconsistent forensic infrastructure in a practical scenario. Our analysis identifies RAG-based systems as a relatively viable intermediate solution due to their natural language adaptability. However, significant risk factors like prompt sensitivity and the potential for confident hallucinations in legal contexts pose a major challenge. Furthermore, we review current benchmarks in cybersecurity and demonstrate that they are not sufficient to capture the specific safety and legal requirements of law enforcement, focusing on the initial hour of the cybercrime. We conclude by arguing for the necessity of a new evaluation benchmark focused on naive query robustness and evidence preservation, so as to ensure that AI-driven guidance aligns with the mandatory demands of judicial proceedings.
