OpenAI has expanded its Daybreak cybersecurity program with two access tiers designed for authorized defenders. Daybreak Blue provides GPT-5.6 Sol with safeguards adapted for defensive tasks such as vulnerability discovery, incident response, malware analysis, and secure code review.
Daybreak Red provides access to specialized cyber models, including the new GPT-5.6-Cyber, which improves exploit development and zero-day vulnerability research while reducing refusals for approved dual-use tasks.
OpenAI says GPT-5.6-Cyber remains below its Critical cybersecurity threshold. The company is also strengthening access controls, monitoring, sandboxing, hardware security requirements, and human oversight to reduce risks from these advanced capabilities.
