Key Ideas

• For cybersec workflows, data privacy is paramount — sending sensitive info to cloud LLMs is a non-starter unless your org has explicitly whitelisted the service
• Technical security people often struggle to communicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders; a local LLM is a low-risk way to soften and structure those messages
• Always validate LLM output for accuracy and policy alignment — local models still hallucinate
