Holistic AI’s Jailbreaking & Red Teaming Audit of Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet: The Most Secure Model Yet?

Ensuring AI security is crucial as models are integrated into critical applications. Holistic AI conducted an audit of Claude 3.7 to evaluate its resistance to jailbreaking and adversarial exploits. This assessment provides insights into its robustness and performance compared to other leading Large Language Models (LLMs).

As an advanced AI governance platform, Holistic AI enables enterprises to audit and manage AI models for a variety of risks, including safety, security, and compliance. Our evaluation of Claude 3.7 focuses on its ability to withstand adversarial attacks, offering key insights for safe deployment.

Methodology: A Comprehensive Security Evaluation

This Jailbreaking audit was conducted using the Holistic AI Governance Platform, an end- to-end AI governance tool that allows enterprises to audit LLMs for safety, reliability, bias, and transparency. This platform enables organizations to proactively identify risks and ensure their AI models meet high security standards before deployment.

For Claude 3.7, our structured testing approach included:

• Jailbreaking Prompts: 37 carefully designed prompts testing the model’s susceptibility to known adversarial exploits, such as Do Anything Now (DAN), Strive to Avoid Norms (STAN), and Do Anything and Everything (DUDE). These prompts were sourced from proprietary datasets and cutting-edge AI security research.

• Dual-Layered Assessment:

• LLM-Based Evaluation: Automated classification using predefined safety criteria.
  Human Expert Review: Manual verification to ensure classification accuracy.

Note: Claude 3.7 was tested in “Thinking Mode” with a maximum token budget of 16k, ensuring a fair comparison with other advanced reasoning models such as OpenAI’s o1 and DeepSeek’s R1.

Key Findings: Unrivaled Security Performance

Claude 3.7 Model: Performance Overview

• SAFE Responses: 37‍
• UNSAFE Responses: 0
• ‍Jailbreaking Resistance: 100%

Claude 3.7 demonstrated exceptional resilience, successfully blocking all 37 jailbreak attempts and achieving a 100% resistance rate. This places Claude 3.7 at the forefront of AI security, setting a new gold standard for adversarial robustness and establishing itself as a benchmark for other LLMs to follow.

Comparative Analysis: Claude 3.7 vs. OpenAI o1 vs. DeepSeek R1 vs. Grok-3

Claude 3.7 matched OpenAI o1’s perfect jailbreaking resistance while significantly outperforming DeepSeek R1. Unlike other LLMs, it maintained zero unsafe responses across all evaluated prompts, reinforcing its position as the most secure AI model tested by Holistic AI in 2025 so far.

Recommendations for Enhancing AI Security

Although Claude 3.7 exhibited top-tier security, proactive risk management remains crucial to maintaining its resilience. The Holistic AI Governance Platform recommends:

• Continuous Security Audits: Regularly evaluating Claude 3.7’s performance to detect and mitigate emerging adversarial threats.
• ‍Advanced Safety Mechanisms: Refining and evolving prompt filtering techniques to counter evolving jailbreak strategies.
• ‍Industry-Wide Collaboration: Encouraging transparency and best-practice sharing to strengthen security measures across AI models.

What This Means for Enterprise AI Security

Claude 3.7’s flawless adversarial resistance sets the benchmark for AI security in 2025. Enterprises looking to deploy Claude 3.7 can do so with confidence, knowing it offers industry-leading protection against manipulation and adversarial exploits. However, ongoing monitoring and security enhancements remain essential to ensure continued robustness in real-world applications for Claude as with any other LLM.
