IBM To Focus On Cybersecurity And Modernizing Software<\/p>\n
IBM and OpenAI will expand their collaboration following IBM\u2019s participation in the OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program. The companies plan to combine OpenAI\u2019s models with IBM Autonomous Security, a multi-agent-powered service designed for coordinated decision-making, response and intelligence.<\/p>\n
The companies said the cybersecurity effort will address AI model risk as well as application-layer vulnerabilities, governance gaps and other operational risks associated with deploying AI.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe challenge is not access to AI technologies \u2014 it\u2019s integrating AI securely and at scale into complex enterprise environments and workflows,\u201d Baldwin said.<\/p>\n
The partnership will also target legacy application modernization and software development. IBM said clients will be able to combine OpenAI Codex and ChatGPT Work with its industry and technology expertise to simplify engineering processes and accelerate the development of digital products and services.<\/p>\n
IBM CEO Acknowledges AI Missteps<\/p>\n
The partnership comes\u00a0weeks after<\/a> IBM CEO Arvind Krishna acknowledged that the company had not responded quickly enough to shifting customer spending and broader market conditions during the second quarter.<\/p>\n In a letter to investors, Krishna said IBM\u2019s performance fell short of expectations, with clients shifting capital expenditures toward servers, storage and memory purchases amid concerns about supply constraints and price increases.<\/p>\n \u201cThese conditions require our teams to execute perfectly, and this quarter we faltered,\u201d Krishna said. \u201cWe did not adapt and move quickly enough, and numerous large deals failed to close on the timelines we expected, driving the majority of our shortfall.\u201d<\/p>\n Krishna added that the company was taking steps to address the issues, saying, \u201cTo remedy challenges this quarter, we are undertaking new initiatives and accelerating others, all to improve our results going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this week, IBM signed a $240 million multi-year agreement with Together AI to deploy a large-scale Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) HGX B300 cluster on IBM Cloud, with availability expected in the first quarter of 2027.
