According to an announcement on OpenAI’s official website, OpenAI has announced its acquisition of Ona, a security-focused cloud execution and orchestration technology company, to expand its Codex ecosystem. Codex currently boasts over 5 million weekly active users—a 400% increase since the beginning of the year. Ona previously served 2 million developers; its customer-controlled execution model enables AI agents to run continuously within an organization’s own cloud environment, meeting enterprise requirements for security, governance, and compliance. Following the acquisition, the Ona team will join OpenAI to help extend Codex into more enterprise-grade production workflows.
, Anthropic and OpenAI have experienced security incidents in succession, drawing market attention to the security of AI models themselves. Currently, Anthropic is investigating a possible case of unauthorized user access to its Claude Mythos model. Almost simultaneously, OpenAI was also reported to have accidentally opened access to several unreleased models within its Codex application.Analysts believe that such incidents highlight that even AI model providers focused on cybersecurity capabilities still face significant security challenges. While AI is increasingly used for cyber defense, platform security and access control are becoming critical risk points.Industry insiders point out that these vulnerability incidents have intensified scrutiny over the security governance capabilities of AI companies, and also reflect that the security systems of current AI technology still need improvement amid rapid development.
