IBM partners with OpenAI on enterprise security AI

June 22 (Reuters) - IBM ‌on Monday ​said ​it has partnered with OpenAI to integrate frontier AI capabilities into enterprise security workflows, aiming ‌to counter rapidly evolving cyber threats.

Shares of ⁠the company rose 3.6% in trading after the bell.

Here are a ‌few details on the ‌partnership:

• IBM joined the OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program and is collaborating with the startup to integrate ​protective AI tools directly into business operations, helping companies identify and minimize their security risks.

• Project Lightwell will use OpenAI's cyber capabilities ​alongside other frontier AI models for code review and remediation.

• "The OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program expands our access to a broader ‌set of advanced AI capabilities, which we deploy within our clients' environments to help ‌surface the most relevant risks faster and help ⁠them act with confidence," ‌said Mark Hughes, global ​managing partner, cybersecurity services, IBM Consulting.
