gdb · x · 2026-09-10
OpenAI president Greg Brockman shared the architecture and a practical playbook for how the company secures its own systems. OpenAI mobilized 250+ people across hundreds of systems, using its latest cyber models to find and fix vulnerabilities that might never have been discovered otherwise. The published "Defense Factory" is a continuous loop where AI agents find vulnerabilities, validate them, and verify fixes — offered so other organizations can make the most of the defenders' window.
