OpenAI has launched its Trusted Access for Cyber program to increase the availability of cutting-edge cybersecurity technologies without compromising security measures that grow proportionate to the degree of trust and validation. The program includes a wide array of players ranging from open-source security groups, enterprises, bug bounty hunters, and government bodies to boost cyber defenses collectively. Given that many organizations cannot afford continuous security monitoring due to resource constraints, OpenAI has allocated $10 million in API credits via its Cybersecurity Grant Program to increase awareness about advanced technologies.

Some of the participating enterprises include Bank of America, Cisco, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks. In addition, OpenAI has extended the access rights to GPT-5.4-Cyber to organizations including the U.S. Center for AI Standards and Innovation and the UK AI Security Institute for evaluations.
