OpenAI launched Trusted Access for Cyber, deploying GPT-5.4-Cyber to strengthen global cyber defense. Major enterprises including Bank of America, Cisco, and JPMorgan Chase join the initiative, which scales advanced cybersecurity capabilities based on trust and validation. The program recognizes cybersecurity as a team sport requiring diverse defenders to protect critical digital infrastructure.

OpenAI committed $10 million in API credits through their Cybersecurity Grant Program, benefiting organizations from vulnerability researchers to enterprises with complex digital environments. Not every organization has 24x7 security teams, yet all software developers need advanced defensive capabilities. The program includes access for U.S. Center for AI Standards and Innovation and UK AI Security Institute to evaluate cyber capabilities.

The initiative builds trust pathways for legitimate defenders to push defensive research boundaries, sharing insights for stronger protection. Cyber defense remains a shared challenge requiring the breadth of organizations doing this work daily. OpenAI plans to expand Trusted Access for Cyber as they learn from real-world use cases and improve safety systems.
