OpenAI partners with Cathedral Systems to test defenses

Original title: Preparing our next security sprint to harden OpenAI

Plain language

What it is: OpenAI announced its next internal security sprint to test and strengthen its defenses. The company is partnering with Cathedral Systems and increasing rewards for its Security Bug Bounty program.
How it works: External researchers and OpenAI teams will use OpenAI's own AI models to find weaknesses and test fixes. This helps build continuous defense loops to secure their systems.
Where it is available: This applies to OpenAI's internal systems, and the capabilities are also being made available to Daybreak customers.
Example: Researchers from Cathedral will use OpenAI's models alongside internal teams to challenge defenses and find weaknesses.

What it is: OpenAI is launching a security sprint in partnership with Cathedral to harden its systems using AI models. They are also quadrupling rewards for critical findings in their Security Bug Bounty program and offering subsidized access to frontline defenders.
How it works: Teams use OpenAI's models to identify vulnerabilities and test patches. In a previous sprint, engineers used Codex to investigate findings, reproduce vulnerabilities in isolated environments, and prepare patches.
Where it is available: The initiative targets OpenAI's internal platforms, with models also made available to Daybreak customers.
Example: Engineers can use Codex to investigate security findings, reproduce vulnerabilities in isolated environments, and prepare patches for review.
