Ukraine Reportedly Gets Access to OpenAI Daybreak AI Cyber Defense System
In 2025 alone, the Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine (CERT-UA) recorded over 6,000 attempted attacks.With the Daybreak system, Ukraine will be able to use OpenAI's most advanced cybersecurity AI models, like GPT-5.6 Sol, to help shore up its digital defenses. These AI models can proactively identify potential exploits in digital systems and suggest fixes and new safeguards, which should make it harder for Russian hackers to compromise these systems and help ensure Ukrainian civilians have access to clean water, power, and heat this winter. Ukraine has already had access to Google's AI tools.
