OpenAI has launched two security products under its Daybreak brand. The first, Daybreak Red Team, is available in Early Access and uses AI agents to automatically probe web applications for vulnerabilities by analyzing source code and app context to map out attack paths. The tool also verifies reported security flaws from bug bounty programs or code scanners and tests patches. Nancy Wang, head of Cyber-Applied AI, said the tool is designed to deliver penetration testing at the speed of automated continuous scanning while matching the depth of human testers.
The second product, Daybreak Defense Factory, automates the defensive side. AI agents scan a company's codebase for vulnerabilities and generate patches, delivering ready-to-deploy pull requests with fixes and accompanying tests for developer approval. Both products run on OpenAI's latest cyber model, GPT-6 Cyber.
