<\/a><\/p>\n

\n Meanwhile, a group of nonprofits sue AI giants and cite AI-driven cyberattacks\n <\/p>\n

OpenAI has launched two new security products, one for penetration testing and another for defense, and warned organizations that their businesses are only safe if they use tools like these.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re now at a point where companies will be secure only to the extent of the frontier model that they use to defend themselves and how well they utilize that,\u201d OpenAI President Greg Brockman said during a Thursday keynote address.<\/p>\n

The co-founder of the company that broke security<\/a> did admit that security \u201cfundamentals are important, and not to be discounted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, \u201cyou need to really reorient your security practice around what these models can do,\u201d Brockman said, with zero irony, and presumably talking about using AI models for defense – not for hacking other organizations<\/a>. \u201cAlso very important is product.\u201d<\/p>\n

This product, of course, should come from OpenAI, and, to that end, the company rolled out Daybreak Red Team and Daybreak Defense Factory, which are both part of OpenAI\u2019s Daybreak security platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Red Team<\/a>, which is available in early access, uses OpenAI models to test companies\u2019 web applications for vulnerabilities. Nancy Wang, who leads cyber-applied AI, described it as \u201csuperhuman pen-test at the scale of automated continuous scanning,\u201d with a fleet of agents using source code and app context to investigate and test attack paths.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It also helps security teams validate reported vulnerabilities – from code scanners, bug bounty programs, and disclosure reports – and then test the patches for these flaws.<\/p>\n

The second product, Daybreak Defense Factory<\/a>, automates the \u201cdefensive loop\u201d by \u201cfinding, validating, and fixing vulnerabilities at scale.\u201d This one also uses agents built on OpenAI\u2019s latest cyber models – currently, that\u2019s GPT-6 Cyber<\/a>. The agents scan organizations\u2019 codebases, hunting for vulnerabilities and developing patches. Engineers review and approve the proposed fixes before they go into production.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis way engineers get a merge-ready pull request with the patch and a test that shows that it works,\u201d Wang said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as OpenAI execs touted the new security products, a coalition of nonprofits filed a lawsuit in San Francisco Superior Court asking a judge to stop OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and SpaceX’s AI businesses from developing or deploying AI systems more capable than their most advanced existing models.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit<\/a>, filed by Irreplaceable Education Fund, Public Citizen, Heat Initiative, and The Alliance for Secure AI, cites incidents involving OpenAI agents accessing Hugging Face<\/a>, gaining unauthorized access to an Australian government portal containing Medicare statistics<\/a>, and other AI-related cybersecurity incidents<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefendants tell us that the AI technology they are developing poses catastrophic risks to the public, including by enabling AI-driven cyberattacks and bioweapons,\u201d the court documents allege, adding that the AI companies \u201care not wrong.\u201d \u00ae<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"security Meanwhile, a group of nonprofits sue AI giants and cite AI-driven cyberattacks OpenAI has launched two new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":832964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-832963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=832963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/832963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/832964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=832963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=832963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=832963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
