OpenAI is expanding its Daybreak Cyber Partner Program to provide security partners with access to its frontier cyber models, specifically Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red. This initiative aims to close the defense gap by enabling organizations to identify vulnerabilities and fix them faster through trusted intermediaries.

  • The program includes service partners such as Accenture, IBM, Capgemini, Cognizant, EY, KPMG, PwC, NCC Group, and SpecterOps.
  • Technology partners include Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42, CrowdStrike, Cisco, Sophos, Akamai, Fortinet, and Cloudflare.
  • Partners can access Daybreak Blue for defensive workflows or Daybreak Red for specialized red teaming and penetration testing via Daybreak Access.
  • Access to the underlying models remains with the approved partner, who applies human oversight and safeguards before action is taken.

This approach allows organizations to benefit from frontier cyber capabilities without building their own specialized AI programs, while preserving the oversight required for sensitive security work.
