OpenAI launches Daybreak agents to test and prepare vulnerability fixes
Original title: OpenAI Launches Advanced AI Cybersecurity Tools for Automated Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Research
Early-access Daybreak Red Team validates attack paths, while Defense Factory drafts patches that engineers must still review.
OpenAI introduced Daybreak Red Team and Daybreak Defense Factory on November 12 at its “Cyber at the Frontier” event.
