IBM Deploys OpenAI Technology to Bolster Enterprise Security
As cyberattacks become faster and more automated, IBM and OpenAI are bringing advanced AI capabilities into security operations to help enterprises detect vulnerabilities and keep pace with machine-speed threats.
IBM joined the OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program and is collaborating with the start-up integrated AI powered security tools into business operations, helping companies identify and introduce cyber security risk.
As part of the partnership, IBM launched a new application security service that uses OpenAI’s capabilities to help organisations identify and validate software abilities with the greatest speed and precision.
The partnership centres on boosting 2026 enterprise AI security, noted the leading global technology corporation as cyber threats evolve.
"The OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program expands our access to a broader set of advanced AI capabilities, which we deploy within our clients' environments to help surface the most relevant risks faster and help them act with confidence," said Mark Hughes, global managing partner for cybersecurity services at IBM Consulting.
New Application Security Service Launched
IBM also announced a new standalone IBM AppScan application security service powered by OpenAI machine learning that helps organisations more quickly and accurately find and validate software vulnerabilities.
The service is intended to enhance how companies identify and fix vulnerabilities in their software running systems, the company said.
Lightwell: A New Project for Finding Vulnerabilities
The new service was built on Project Lightwell IBM, a program released last month that helps engineers and AI tools in organisations to protect open-source software.
IBM and Red Hat have committed $5 billion for Project Lightwell which will harness OpenAI’s cyber capabilities in conjunction with various other AI models at the frontier for code review and remediation.
The OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program extends IBM’s access to world-class AI capabilities that will help our clients better identify risk promptly and with more confidence in responding. IBM stock gained 3.6% in extended trading after the announcement.
