OpenAI announced it will provide the Government of Ukraine with access to its Daybreak program to support the cyber defense of civilian infrastructure. Working with the Ministry of Digital Transformation, OpenAI will equip Ukrainian teams with tools to identify software vulnerabilities and develop fixes more quickly.
- The initiative was announced by Consul General Dmytro Kushneruk and Sasha Baker at the UN General Assembly.
- Ukrainian defenders face persistent attacks, with CERT-UA handling nearly 6,000 cyber incidents in 2025 targeting hospitals, energy, and telecommunications.
- Daybreak provides access to advanced AI for reviewing software, investigating suspicious activity, validating vulnerabilities, and testing fixes.
- OpenAI has previously supported European defenders, including France, Germany, and Poland, with ENISA fixing EU-wide vulnerabilities and CERT Polska discovering six router flaws.
This effort aims to strengthen Ukraine's cyber defenses against both physical and digital attacks, ensuring essential services remain operational for citizens.
