OpenAI has expanded its Daybreak cyber defense service, which now consists of two tiers: Blue and Red. The Blue tier offers a range of cyber services, including incident response, malware analysis, and patch validation, making it a suitable starting point for most defenders. In contrast, the Red tier provides a more comprehensive toolkit, featuring purpose-trained cybersecurity models for security testing and vulnerability research.
Key features of the expanded Daybreak service include:
- Access to OpenAI's limited-access frontier cyber models
- Two tiers of service: Blue and Red
- Red tier includes the new GPT-5.6-Cyber model, built off of GPT-5.6 Sol, with enhanced capabilities for specialized cybersecurity tasks
- GPT-5.6-Cyber is currently only available to trusted customer partners, such as Accenture, IBM, and Cloudflare
The introduction of GPT-5.6-Cyber and the expansion of Daybreak reflect OpenAI's efforts to provide more advanced cyber defense capabilities to its customers, while also addressing concerns around the safe use of frontier models. By limiting access to these models and providing a more structured service offering, OpenAI aims to support defenders in their efforts to counter AI-led attacks.
