Unlike traditional code-scanning tools, the service uses AI-driven analysis to assess application code, prioritize areas most likely to contain flaws, and uncover potential attack paths before they can be exploited.

Powered by IBM Consulting Advantage, IBM’s AI platform for consulting services, the solution operates within a client’s environment through controlled and governed access.

With read-only access to code repositories and bounded execution, it enables large-scale exposure analysis while maintaining enterprise security and compliance standards.

Building on Project Lightwell

The announcement builds on Project Lightwell, IBM and Red Hat’s initiative focused on strengthening software supply chain security.

OpenAI’s cyber capabilities will support code review and remediation efforts alongside other frontier AI models.

Addressing Machine-Speed Cyber Threats

IBM said organizations can begin with targeted assessments of critical applications and later expand to continuous monitoring as software changes and new threats emerge.

The company believes AI-powered security tools are becoming essential as cybercriminals increasingly use AI to automate and scale attacks.

Through the OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, IBM will also collaborate with OpenAI and other partners to help establish safeguards and best practices for deploying advanced AI securely within enterprise environments.
