OpenAI 承诺投入 10 亿美元,以补贴形式提供 Daybreak 访问权限、培训、技术支持与合作伙伴关系,帮助一线防御者保护关键服务。
今天,OpenAI 推出 Daybreak for Frontline Defenders——一项全新的全球计划,旨在帮助一线防御者运用前沿 AI 网络能力,保护美国及全球的关键服务。该计划包括:
- 一项 10 亿美元的全球承诺,用于扩大 Daybreak 网络模型与产品的补贴访问、培训、技术支持,以及在美国和国际上的合作伙伴关系。
- Daybreak for America 汇集了 OpenAI 在美国的全部工作,以保护美国人日常依赖的系统——从供水、供电到地方政府和银行业——其中包括与 Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center(MS-ISAC)合作开展的一项新试点。
- 通过 Daybreak Defense Network,已有超过 35 款企业产品和合作伙伴运营的服务接入,将 Daybreak 网络模型引入企业防御者已在使用的工具、服务和流程中。
每一天,我们都依赖网络防御者来保护维持社区运转的系统:水龙头里流出的水、为家庭和企业供电的电力、提供公共服务的政府系统,以及人们托付钱财的金融机构。其中许多防御者人手和预算有限,却要守护复杂且老旧的系统。
未来几个月,随着全球各类模型能力日益增强,由 AI 驱动的网络攻击将变得更加普遍和复杂。这一转变给每个组织都敲响了警钟。防御者需要立即行动:在攻击者得手之前,测试系统、发现弱点并加强防御。
前沿 AI 可以帮助防御者行动得更快。我们正处在一个防御者的窗口期:一个利用 AI 在攻击者抢占先机之前弥合安全漏洞的、正在收窄的机会。我们的职责是帮助将强大的工具交到防御者手中,使他们能够保护自己所负责的系统以及用户。
上周,我们与来自网络安全、技术、关键基础设施、金融和 AI 领域的 150 多个组织一道,呼吁采取集体行动来抓住这一窗口期。没有任何一家公司能够独自保障我们所有人都依赖的系统的安全。每个组织都应发挥作用,而防御者需要更快速行动的工具。
今天,OpenAI 正在做出重大承诺以提供帮助。**Daybreak for Frontline Defenders 汇集了 10 亿美元的补贴性前沿网络能力接入、手把手的培训和技术支持,以及新的合作伙伴关系,旨在将这些能力带给那些保护人们日常所依赖服务的组织。**我们从差距最大的地方着手:那些肩负巨大责任却缺乏全球最大公司所拥有资源的防御者。我们的目标是构建一个能够保护美国人赖以生存的服务的模型,并与合作伙伴一起,帮助将前沿网络安全交到世界各地一线防御者手中。
为一线防御者提供 10 亿美元
OpenAI 正在投入 10 亿美元补贴 Daybreak 访问权限,帮助资源受限的网络防御者(首先从美国开始)运用前沿 AI,目标是在未来六个月内完成使用。作为我们“Daybreak for America”承诺的一部分,我们将优先服务关键基础设施运营方——包括供水和污水处理系统、电网运营商,以及州和地方政府、社区和地区银行、非营利组织、开源维护者和其他安全资源有限的机构。这些团队中的许多人在缺乏大企业所拥有的预算、工具或专业技能的条件下,防御着复杂且往往老旧的系统,以应对速度更快的威胁。Daybreak 访问权限可以帮助他们审查遗留代码、分析可疑活动、识别并验证漏洞、优先处理最严重的风险,以及开发和测试修复方案。未来几周,我们计划将该模式推广到伙伴国家。
这一承诺建立在已向面临紧迫威胁的基础设施防御者提供的支持之上。**在近期美国供水系统遭受攻击后,我们向受影响的州和公用事业机构提供了最高 100 万美元的免费 API 额度、Daybreak 访问权限和技术支持。**相关团队得以利用这些支持来审查代码和系统配置、验证发现、开发补丁并确认修复,同时供水系统保持运行,社区继续获得其所依赖的服务。
扩大前沿 AI 的获取范围,为防御者提供实操支持
今年早些时候,我们推出了 Daybreak,让经过验证的公共与私营部门防御方能够使用先进 AI 开展经授权的网络防御工作。Daybreak Blue 通过我们的主线模型支持常规防御工作;Daybreak Red 则为获批组织提供专用网络模型的访问权限,用于更敏感、技术要求更高的工作。目前,遍布 2,000 个获批组织与工作空间的数千名防御人员已在日常工作中使用 Daybreak,其中包括网络安全公司、国防组织和执法机构。
**在扩大访问范围的同时,我们也在加大对关键行业一线防御人员的实操支持力度。**我们已召集了一系列与一线防御人员的持续会议,参与者涵盖公用事业、州及地方政府、社区银行等机构,旨在了解他们的实际工作,并帮助他们运用我们的工具加固自身系统。随着 Daybreak for Frontline Defenders 的扩展,我们将继续举办此类会议。本周举行的第二次公用事业公司会议,汇聚了来自 40 个州及哥伦比亚特区的参与者,这些机构共同为超过半数美国人口提供关键服务。
与防御方建立新的合作伙伴关系
只有一线防御者获得有效使用强大模型的培训和支持,访问这些模型才有意义。今天,我们宣布与多州信息共享与分析中心(MS-ISAC)合作,推出一项面向公共部门和供水领域的试点项目,为州、地方、部落和领地层面的网络防御者提供培训和支持。该试点项目将为首批公共部门和供水系统防御者提供 Daybreak 访问权限,并辅以指导性培训和实操协助,帮助他们验证并确定处置优先级、协调修复工作,并形成一套可随时间推移推广复制的可重复方法。
MS-ISAC 为数千家公共部门组织提供网络威胁情报、事件响应支持、实时信息共享及其他共享防御能力,涵盖公用事业、公立医院、K-12 学校和执法机构等。其成员保护着许多与美国人日常生活最密切相关的系统——从饮用水和公立医院,到学校、应急服务和地方政府。该试点项目旨在探索一种模式,最终惠及更广泛的公共部门组织群体。
支持还需要通过防御者已经在使用的工具和服务触达他们。今天,我们在 Daybreak 防御网络(Daybreak Defense Network)中的合作伙伴宣布推出超过 35 款合作伙伴产品和合作伙伴运营的服务,将 OpenAI 的 Daybreak 网络模型交到企业手中。我们的目标是让集体行动落地为实际运作,为防御者提供可用的产品、服务和工作流程。
归根结底,目标不仅是发现更多漏洞,更是更快地修复它们。本周,我们发布了 OpenAI 构建“防御工厂”(Defense Factory)的方法:这是一种持续的、以智能体为先的运作模式,建立在现有安全和工程工具之上,用于发现并验证漏洞,并准备好经过测试的修复方案以供审查。我们正在分享其架构和经验教训,以便其他防御者能够将这一方法适配到他们自己的环境中。
与我们合作
防御者的窗口期不会无限期敞开。当下的机遇在于,确保前沿 AI 能为防御者带来的优势,不只惠及最大的公司和资源最充足的安全团队,还能延伸到那些其安全状况影响着数百万人的社区和机构。
这意味着不仅仅是提供强大的模型访问权限。它还意味着帮助一线防御者——水务公司、社区银行、医疗系统、地方政府——发现漏洞,将其转化为经过测试的修复方案,并保护他们所服务的人群。“面向一线防御者的 Daybreak”计划是我们的一项承诺,旨在将这种能力交到最需要它的一线防御者手中。我们的目标是利用前沿 AI,让美国民众所依赖的系统更难被攻击、更容易被修复。
符合条件的地方和州政府、关键基础设施运营商、非营利组织、开源维护者以及支持性组织,可以访问 Daybreak 网站,了解有关访问权限、技术援助、培训及其他网络防御支持的更多信息。

OpenAI is committing $1 billion in subsidized Daybreak access, training, technical support, and partnerships to help frontline defenders protect essential services.
Today OpenAI is introducing Daybreak for Frontline Defenders, a new global initiative to help frontline defenders use frontier AI cyber capabilities to protect essential services in the United States and around the world. The initiative includes:
- A $1 billion global commitment to expand subsidized access to Daybreak cyber models and products, training, technical support, and partnerships in the United States and internationally.
- Daybreak for America, bringing together all of OpenAI’s U.S. work to protect the systems Americans rely on every day —from water and electricity to local government and banking—including a new pilot with the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC).
- More than 35 enterprise products and partner-operated services through the Daybreak Defense Network, bringing Daybreak cyber models into the tools, services, and workflows enterprise defenders already use.
Every day, we depend on cyber defenders to protect the systems that keep communities running: the water coming from the tap, the electricity powering homes and businesses, the local government systems that deliver public services, and the financial institutions people trust with their money. Many operate with limited staff and budgets, while defending complex and aging systems.
In the coming months, AI-enabled cyber attacks will become far more widespread and sophisticated as models around the world become increasingly capable. That shift puts every organization on notice. Defenders need to act now: test systems, find weaknesses, and strengthen defenses before attackers do.
Frontier AI can help defenders move faster. We have a defender’s window: a narrowing opportunity to use AI to close security gaps before attackers seize them. Our role is to help put powerful tools in defenders’ hands so they can protect the systems, and the people, they are responsible for.
Last week, wecalled for collective action to seize that window, alongside more than 150 organizations across cybersecurity, technology, critical infrastructure, finance, and AI. No single company can secure the systems we all depend on. Every organization has a role to play, and defenders need the tools to move faster.
Today, OpenAI is making a major commitment to help. **Daybreak for Frontline Defenders brings together $1 billion in subsidized access to frontier cyber capabilities, hands-on training and technical assistance, and new partnerships to get those capabilities to organizations that protect the services people depend on every day.**We are starting where the gap is greatest: with defenders carrying enormous responsibility without the resources of the world’s largest companies. Our goal is to build a model that can protect the services Americans rely on and, with our partners, help put frontier cybersecurity in the hands of frontline defenders around the world.
$1 billion for frontline defenders
OpenAI is committing $1 billion in subsidized Daybreak access to help resource-constrained cyber defenders, starting with the United States, put frontier AI to work, targeting it to be consumed over the next six months. As part of our “Daybreak for America” commitment, we will prioritize operators of essential services—including water and wastewater systems and electric grid operators, alongside state and local governments, community and regional banks, nonprofits, open-source maintainers, and other organizations with limited security resources. Many of these teams defend complex and often aging systems against faster-moving threats without the budgets, tools, or specialized expertise available to large enterprises. Daybreak access can help them review legacy code, analyze suspicious activity, identify and validate vulnerabilities, prioritize the most serious risks, and develop and test fixes. In the coming weeks, we intend to expand this model to partner countries.
This commitment builds on support already provided to infrastructure defenders facing urgent threats. **Following recent attacks on U.S. water systems, we offered affected states and utilities up to $1 million in no-cost API credits, Daybreak access, and technical assistance.**Teams were able to use that support to review code and system configurations, validate findings, develop patches, and confirm fixes while water systems remained operational and communities continued receiving the services they depended on.
Expanded access to frontier AI and hands-on support for defenders
Earlier this year, we launchedDaybreak, which enables verified public and private sector defenders to use advanced AI for authorized cyber defense. Daybreak Blue supports common defensive work with our mainline models; Daybreak Red gives approved organizations access to specialized cyber models for more sensitive and technically demanding work. Thousands of defenders across 2,000 approved organizations and workspaces already use Daybreak, including cybersecurity companies, defense organizations, and law enforcement organizations.
**Alongside broader access, we are increasing hands-on support for frontline defenders in essential sectors.**We have convened an ongoing series of meetings with frontline defenders, including utilities, state and local governments, community banks, and others, to learn from their work and help them use our tools to harden their systems, and we will continue those convenings as Daybreak for Frontline Defenders expands. This week’s second gathering of utility companies brought together participants representing 40 states and the District of Columbia that collectively provide essential services to more than half of the U.S. population.
New partnerships with defenders
Access to capable models is only useful if frontline defenders have the training and support to use them effectively. Today, we are announcing a public sector and water-focused pilot with the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center, or MS-ISAC, to train and support state, local, tribal, and territorial cyber defenders. The pilot will pair Daybreak access with guided training and hands-on assistance for an initial group of public sector and water system defenders, helping them validate and prioritize findings, coordinate remediation, and develop a repeatable approach that can be expanded over time.
MS-ISAC provides cyber-threat intelligence, incident-response support, real-time information sharing, and other shared defenses to thousands of public-sector organizations, including utilities, public hospitals, K–12 schools, and law-enforcement agencies. Its members protect many of the systems closest to Americans’ daily lives—from drinking water and public hospitals to schools, emergency services, and local governments. The pilot is intended to develop a model that could eventually benefit organizations across that broader community.
S upport also needs to reach defenders through the tools and services they already use. Today, our partners across theDaybreak Defense Networkare announcing more than 35 partner products and partner-operated services that bring OpenAI’s Daybreak cyber models into the hands of the enterprise. Our goal is collective action becoming operational, with products, services, and workflows defenders can use.
Ultimately, the goal is not just to find more vulnerabilities, but to fix them faster.This week, we published OpenAI’s approach to building aDefense Factory**: a continuous, agent-first operation that builds on existing security and engineering tools to find and validate vulnerabilities and prepare tested fixes for review.**We are sharing its architecture and lessons so other defenders can adapt the approach to their own environments.
Work with us
The defender’s window will not stay open indefinitely. The opportunity now is to make sure the advantages frontier AI can give defenders reach beyond the largest companies and best-resourced security teams—and into the communities and institutions whose security affects millions of people.
That means more than providing access to capable models. It means helping frontline defenders—water utilities, community banks, health systems, local governments—find vulnerabilities, turn them into tested fixes, and protect those they serve. Daybreak for Frontline Defenders is our commitment to putting that capability in the hands of the frontline defenders who need it most. Our goal is to use frontier AI to make the systems Americans depend on harder to attack and easier to repair.
Eligible state and local governments, critical infrastructure operators, nonprofits, open-source maintainers, and supporting organizations can visit the Daybreak website to learn more about access, technical assistance, training, and other cyber-defense support.
