AI used to be something security vendors built into their own products. Now OpenAI is going direct, positioning itself as the layer that security runs on. What does that mean for the rest of the industry? Welcome to Razorwire, the podcast where we share our take on the world of cybersecurity with direct, practical advice for professionals and business owners alike. I'm Jim and in this episode, I'm joined again by Jon Care, Head of the AI Practice at KuppingerCole, to unpack OpenAI's launch of Daybreak. OpenAI launched Daybreak on 11 May 2026. It's not a security product, it's a platform play designed to embed AI-driven security directly into the development lifecycle, with a three-tier access model and a partner programme that includes Cisco, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto and a dozen other major vendors. This is OpenAI's bid to become the infrastructure that security runs on. But the governance questions are enormous. Who counts as a "verified defender"? Who decides? What happens when someone with access changes jobs or gets laid off? And when the same model families sit on both sides of the equation, how do you govern dual use?
