Defenders can bring secure code review, threat modeling, patch validation, dependency risk analysis, detection, and remediation guidance into the everyday development loop so software becomes more resilient from the start,\u201d the company <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/daybreak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations can request a Daybreak assessment from OpenAI that includes a vulnerability scan. Pricing details have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI offers three levels of access. Default GPT-5.5 for general-purpose, developer, and knowledge work, GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber for verified defensive work in authorized environments, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpnetsecurity.com\/2026\/05\/08\/openai-gpt-5-5-cyber-model\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GPT-5.5-Cyber<\/a> for specialized authorized workflows with stronger verification and account-level controls.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI prepares rollout of cyber-capable AI models<\/p>\n<p>The company said it is working with industry and government partners while preparing to deploy more cyber-capable models as part of an iterative deployment approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to partner with OpenAI to gain access to the Trusted Access for Cyber program. Frontier models are fundamentally changing vulnerability management, and early access enables us to adapt proactively.
