OpenAI extends its Daybreak cyber-defense access to the Government of Ukraine for civilian infrastructure
OpenAI announced on 2026-09-23 that it will give the Government of Ukraine access to its Daybreak program, working with Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation, so Ukrainian teams can find software vulnerabilities and develop and test fixes for civilian infrastructure. OpenAI describes Daybreak as giving defenders access to advanced AI for authorized security work, and says it has provided its cyber models to defenders in France, Germany, Poland and elsewhere in Europe. It reports that ENISA used the models to identify vulnerabilities in software used across EU institutions and that CERT Polska used them to help find six router-software vulnerabilities; these outcomes are OpenAI's account.
