IBM collaborated with OpenAI to introduce a security solution that utilizes advanced AI models to identify code vulnerabilities and assists organizations in resolving them before they escalate into issues.

The two firms are currently collaborating via OpenAI’s Daybreak Cyber Partner Program. IBM's consulting framework, combined with OpenAI's cutting-edge AI models, enables business clients to identify security concerns more quickly.

Reports indicate that the service offers AI analysis that surpasses conventional scanning solutions for companies with large codebases.

The latest service operates within client settings with read-only permissions to code repositories. It examines application code, highlights sections with possible defects, and detects vulnerable routes.

Organizations may begin with focused assessments of specific applications and expand to ongoing monitoring as their code progresses.

IBM Consulting Advantage, the firm's AI platform for executing consulting projects, drives the security service.

“Attackers are already using AI to probe, exploit, and scale threats at machine speed. Defenders need the same advantage, with the security and control enterprises require,” says Mark Hughes, IBM Consulting’s global managing partner for cybersecurity services.

“We are collaborating with AI pioneers like IBM to use frontier models to accelerate defensive security workflows and support enterprises, governments, and other organizations as they identify risks,” says Dane Stuckey, OpenAI’s chief information security officer.

The application security service expands on Project Lightwell, a program IBM introduced last month to safeguard open source software utilized throughout enterprise supply chains. IBM and Red Hat have pledged $5 billion to support the initiative, which utilizes engineers and AI resources to fix, verify, and oversee open source code.
