    OpenAI launches Daybreak

    Initial Disclosure

    OpenAI launched Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative that combines frontier AI models and Codex Security to help organizations identify, test, and patch vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Daybreak supports secure code review, threat modeling, patch validation, dependency risk analysis, detection, and remediation guidance, and it is built on GPT-5.5, GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber, and GPT-5.5-Cyber. Access remains tightly controlled, with interested organizations asked to request a vulnerability scan or contact sales, while major companies including Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Oracle, Palo Alto Networks, and Zscaler are already integrating the capabilities under Trusted Access for Cyber.
