OpenAI and ReliaQuest have partnered under OpenAI's Daybreak programme to embed advanced AI models into enterprise cybersecurity platforms, with ReliaQuest gaining access to GPT-5.5-Cyber and CodexSecurity tools for faster vulnerability detection and threat response. The partnership reflects growing use of AI by both defenders and attackers, with Anthropic data showing 67% of threat actors now use AI in attack preparation.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build cybersecurity tools, your customers now expect AI-native threat response - and OpenAI just picked ReliaQuest to prove it works at scale. You either integrate frontier models fast or become the integration target for someone who does.
