This collaboration represents a meaningful shift in helping enterprises stay ahead while maintaining security and control.”

“Identity is the ultimate perimeter in modern enterprise security, and as AI accelerates the complexity of the threat landscape, our defense systems must evolve even faster. By leveraging OpenAI Daybreak Defense Network capabilities into our product development lifecycle, Okta is taking a proactive leap forward. For our engineering teams, this means shifting from reactive patch management to autonomous, sandboxed code hardening, dramatically shrinking vulnerability windows before code ever reaches production. For our customers, it delivers an unprecedented layer of platform resilience, ensuring that the identity infrastructure they rely on every day is inherently secure-by-design against the next generation of cyber threats.”

“As defenders face increasingly sophisticated threats, GPT‑5.5 with trusted access enables security teams to move faster by enhancing the tools and workflows they already rely on—from investigation and analysis to prioritization and response. Through our participation in the OpenAI Daybreak Defense Network, we’re delivering these capabilities as part of Palo Alto Networks Frontier AI Defense offering. This work is helping to establish the safeguards, monitoring, and abuse prevention standards needed to ensure AI is deployed responsibly and securely across the broader software ecosystem.”

“Organizations are looking for practical ways to apply AI to strengthen cyber defense while maintaining strong governance and safety controls. By incorporating GPT‑5.5 through the OpenAI Daybreak Defense Network into Proofpoint's products, services, and AI-powered security workflows, we can help security teams improve threat investigation, decision-making, and efficiency as they protect their people, data, and AI agents. This includes expanding capabilities across innovations such as Proofpoint Satori, our agentic AI solutions designed to reduce operational burden and help security teams adapt more quickly to evolving threats.”

“AI accelerates vulnerability discovery, but addressing those vulnerabilities requires an open source process capable of scaling patches at the same speed.
