GPT-6 Cyber: a major advance for security research, already being used to help defend security-critical software such as the Linux kernel, Firefox, and many other projects. We’ve invested a great deal in trust, specifically training the model to stay within the scope specified by the operator. The corresponding eval results are quite striking. We’re also launching Daybreak Red for Critical Infrastructure, giving approved critical infrastructure defenders the ability to conduct authorized testing of critical systems.
Introducing GPT‑6 Cyber: a major advance in security research that pairs stronger capabilities with better model alignment. The model powered the Linux kernel research we announced yesterday, and security teams at companies like Mozilla, Palo Alto Networks, Calif, and Cisco—alongside our own at OpenAI—are already putting it to work. GPT-6 Cyber is available to select Daybreak Red customers and we are expanding access over time. openai.com/index/introducing…

As organizations scale AI, maintaining your security posture is critical—and today with @AnthropicAI, we’re paving the way with a new integration with the @ClaudeAI Compliance API. By bringing Claude into Okta Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), we’re giving teams the centralized visibility needed to surface identity blind spots and remediate risks. Now, you can manage Claude just like any other SaaS platform, ensuring your AI usage stays secure and compliant. Read the announcement here: bit.ly/4fyAcIG #OktaSecuresAI

.@DellTech's global chief technology and AI officer John Roese shares his insights related to the collaboration with @okta for its own internal agentic AI security provisions. That partnership with an AI factory infrastructure leader speaks volumes to Okta's potential and capabilities. #OktaShowcase

"Are people going to build their own software, or buy software from vendors? Unequivocally, they're going to buy more software from vendors." - Okta CEO @toddmckinnon "Companies have a very hard time building something that goes from SAP to content management to Salesforce in an end-to-end process." "Maybe there’ll be some more customization and more vibe coding to build that. But the core vendors, core data sources, and the core business logic and processes, that’s going to get bigger and bigger. I’m 100% convinced of that."

I sat down with @jimcramer to discuss AI agents as a powerful new identity type. As companies adopt AI and build AI agents, they want three things: innovation, choice, and security. Without identity security, AI’s promise will collapse.

The SaaS ecosystem has evolved at incredible speed — but security standards haven’t kept up. We saw this with the Salesloft incident, where attackers used stolen tokens to jump between applications. To ease the concerns of our customers, @okta and @auth0 weren’t impacted. Our defenses, including IP restrictions and token-binding protections like DPoP, held firm. The new reality is that security can no longer live inside a single app; it needs to move at the speed of integration. That's why we're championing the IPSIE standard with the OpenID Foundation. It's a framework that creates a common language for identity-based security, enabling shared alerts and instant token revocation across different SaaS providers. This is how we close the gaps and prevent the next wave of token replay attacks from spreading. It's about securing the entire ecosystem, not just one piece of it. Learn more in the 🧵
