OpenAI announced a partnership with Hacktron to identify and fix vulnerabilities in its systems. The collaboration will focus on testing how OpenAI's systems interact with third-party services. This initiative expands Hacktron's access to OpenAI's frontier models through Daybreak Red.
The partnership aims to accelerate cyber defense by finding and fixing vulnerabilities in OpenAI's own systems. Cathedral's researchers will also participate in the next security sprint. Additionally, OpenAI increased bug bounty rewards to incentivize independent researchers.
OpenAI previously discovered Hacktron through its Security Bug Bounty program, noting the impact of vulnerabilities uncovered in applications, cloud infrastructure, and identity systems. The team builds AI agents for code review, penetration testing, and red teaming. Working with Hacktron will help OpenAI test connections more deeply to strengthen defenses against potential threats as AI agents connect services in new ways.
