Every day seems to brings fresh news of an AI agent going \u201crogue.\u201d Whether that\u2019s compromising Hugging Face, hacking a gym website, or creating its own fake profiles to socially engineer an intrusion, AI models are increasingly behaving like bad actors<\/p>\n
So, the AI labs that make the models doing the hacking are expanding their cyber protection offerings. This week, OpenAI announced an expansion of Daybreak, its cyber defense service which it launched earlier this year, not long after Anthropic released its cyber-focused model Mythos<\/p>\n
Daybreak is a service that bundles access to models, tools and workflows for defenders. The expansion includes access to a brand new cyber-focused model designed for defensive work<\/p>\n
OpenAI said Monday that Daybreak would now consist of two tiers: Blue and Red. Both of these tiers will allow approved customers access to OpenAI\u2019s limited-access frontier cyber models<\/a>. Frontier models \u2014 the most advanced available \u2014 have been a subject of controversy. The Trump administration previously sought to collaborate<\/a> with AI companies on the roll out of such models, purportedly over safety concerns. Previously, OpenAI deployed significant guardrails<\/a> to using these models, limiting what customers could do with them.<\/p>\n Blue, which appears to be the more basic of the two, offers a variety of cyber services, including incident response, malware analysis, and patch validation. OpenAI calls Blue its \u201crecommended starting point for most defenders,\u201d implying that it should be more than enough for most enterprises<\/p>\n Red, on the other hand, offers a broader and potentially more dangerous toolkit. The company grants its users \u201cpurpose-trained cybersecurity<\/a> models,\u201d designed to carry out security testing and vulnerability research<\/p>\n With Red also comes the new model, GPT\u20115.6\u2011Cyber, which is only available at that tier. 5.6-Cyber is built off of GPT\u20115.6 Sol, and offers enhanced capabilities for certain specialized cybersecurity tasks, the company said<\/p>\n At the moment, GPT\u20115.6\u2011Cyber is only being made available for \u201ctrusted customer partners,\u201d including reportedlyAccenture, IBM, Crowdstrike, Cloudflare, and others<\/p>\n While the threats from AI agents are rapidly increasing, critics have also pointed out that they function as marketing opportunities for the AI labs. OpenAI is certainly marketing its upgraded Daybreak that way<\/p>\n \u201cThe cybersecurity world is rapidly changing\u2014threat actors will increasingly use AI to conduct cyberattacks at unprecedented speed and scale, including in fully autonomous ways,\u201d the company said in a blog post. \u201cAs these capabilities spread, defenders have a narrowing window to prepare.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n At the same time, enterprises remain interested in buying their protection from the AI labs who know the security risks best, because they know them first-hand<\/p>\n \n Related:<\/strong> \n Join Justfine Infotech<\/strong> and build real digital skills in AI, automation, web development, digital marketing, office productivity, e-commerce, freelancing and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n Available Programmes:<\/strong> WhatsApp:<\/strong>
