# As AI-led attacks multiply, OpenAI launches a new cyber model

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

OpenAI is expanding its Daybreak cyber defense service with two tiers — Blue and Red. Blue covers incident response, malware analysis, and patch validation. Red includes a new model, GPT-5.6-Cyber (built on GPT-5.6 Sol), offering advanced security testing and vulnerability research capabilities. Access to GPT-5.6-Cyber is currently restricted to trusted partners like Accenture, IBM, CrowdStrike, and Cloudflare. The expansion comes amid a surge in AI-driven cyberattacks, including rogue agents compromising platforms and conducting social engineering. Critics note that AI labs are simultaneously the source of these threats and the sellers of defenses against them.
