According to Nikkei XTECH, Microsoft has developed a new system to address cyberattacks involving autonomous AI, using three types of AI agents to support the process from vulnerability identification to remediation. Microsoft will also launch its first self-developed AI model for cyber defense.
According to e27, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) jointly established the "AI-Driven Cyber and Tech Risk Taskforce" (ACT) in May 2026, with membership including major financial institutions such as DBS, OCBC, UOB, Singapore Exchange, NETS, and BCS. The taskforce focuses on three key areas: first, promoting industry-wide sharing of AI cybersecurity experience; second, conducting proof-of-concept tests for AI defense tools to enhance institutions' operational capabilities; third, developing security controls and response guidelines for AI threats. MAS Assistant Managing Director Vincent Loy pointed out that frontier AI is increasing the severity, scale, and complexity of cyber attacks, and the financial industry must respond with a high sense of urgency and strong collaboration.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that attackers have begun using frontier AI, and defenders similarly need to establish a frontier AI ecosystem composed of the best open-source and closed-source models, and leverage the global community to enhance defense capabilities.
OpenAI announced an upgrade to its Daybreak network defense toolchain, officially launching the full version of the GPT-5.5-Cyber model tailored for cybersecurity defense scenarios.In the CyberGym benchmark test, which evaluates the ability of AI agents to reproduce known vulnerabilities, GPT-5.5-Cyber achieved a single-model score of 85.6%, surpassing GPT-5.5’s 81.8% and Anthropic Mythos 5’s 83.8%.OpenAI stated that as AI significantly enhances the efficiency of vulnerability discovery, the core bottleneck in cybersecurity is shifting from "finding vulnerabilities" to "automatically fixing them." To this end, the company has simultaneously upgraded the Codex Security plugin, enabling developers to automatically analyze vulnerabilities and generate fix patches within the Codex environment. Since the preview release in March this year, Codex Security has scanned over 30 million code commits and autonomously confirmed fixes for 500,000 security defects. The new version also supports CodeQL query integration and SARIF standard file export.Additionally, OpenAI has partnered with organizations such as Trail of Bits and HackerOne to launch the "Patch the Planet" open-source security project. This initiative provides ChatGPT Pro subscriptions and API credits to over 30 major open-source projects, including cURL and Go, with security expert teams manually verifying patch quality. Regarding the Daybreak partner program, security vendors such as Palo Alto Networks and Wiz have already integrated the relevant capabilities.
OpenAI has officially launched the GPT-5.5-Cyber model and the "Trusted Access for Cyber" (TAC) framework designed for cybersecurity defenders. Simultaneously, GPT-5.5-Cyber has been opened for a limited preview to defenders responsible for critical infrastructure, supporting specialized cybersecurity workflows.TAC is an identity and trust-based framework aimed at ensuring that enhanced AI capabilities are wielded by verified defenders. Defenders verified through this framework will encounter fewer instances of model refusal when performing tasks such as vulnerability identification, triage, malware analysis, binary reverse engineering, and patch verification. Starting from June 1, 2026, individual members accessing this capability will be required to enable advanced account security protection.OpenAI is currently collaborating with security vendors including Cisco, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks to accelerate the defense cycle of the security ecosystem through GPT-5.5, enhancing the efficiency of vulnerability research, patching, monitoring, and supply chain security.
Officials from the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority, and the Treasury are consulting with the National Cyber Security Centre to examine potential vulnerabilities in critical IT systems revealed by Anthropic’s latest model.
