OpenAI enters cybersecurity with two Daybreak products

Dataist Dataist

OpenAI has entered the cybersecurity market with two Daybreak products. Daybreak Red Team, now in early access, uses AI agents to find vulnerabilities in web applications, review reports of discovered issues and test fixes. Daybreak Defense Factory analyzes a company’s code, proposes fixes and prepares code merge requests with tests for developers to review. Both products run on the GPT-6 Cyber model.

Testing applications and fixing code

Daybreak Red Team analyzes a web application’s source code and context to identify possible attack paths. The tool also checks vulnerabilities reported through bug bounty programs or code scanners, and tests fixes. The product is available in early access.

Nancy Wang, head of Cyber-Applied AI, said the tool is intended to combine the speed of continuous automated scanning with the depth of testing performed by penetration testers.

Daybreak Defense Factory automates defensive work: AI agents search a company’s codebase for vulnerabilities and prepare fixes. Developers receive ready-to-review code merge requests with fixes and accompanying tests, which they can review and approve.

Both products use OpenAI’s latest cyber model, GPT-6 Cyber.

Dataist’s take: Daybreak covers two stages of vulnerability work: finding issues and preparing fixes. Developers still have final approval over code changes, and Red Team is currently available only in early access.
