Security on the path to AGI

Security threats evolve constantly and as we get closer to AGI, we expect our adversaries to become more tenacious, numerous and persistent. At OpenAI, we proactively adapt in multiple ways, including by building comprehensive security measures directly into our infrastructure⁠ and models.

AI-powered cyber defense
To protect our users, systems and intellectual property, we’re leveraging our own AI technology to scale our cyber defenses. We developed advanced methods to detect cyber threats and respond rapidly. As a supplement alongside conventional threat detection and incident response strategies, our AI-driven security agents help enhance threat detection capabilities, enable rapid response to evolving adversarial tactics, and equip security teams with precise, actionable intelligence necessary to counter sophisticated cyberattacks.

Continuous adversarial red teaming
We have partnered with SpecterOps⁠(opens in a new window), renowned experts in security research and adversarial operations, to rigorously test our security defenses through realistic simulated attacks across our infrastructure, including corporate, cloud and production environments. These continuous assessments enable us to identify vulnerabilities proactively, enhance our detection capabilities, and strengthen our response strategies against sophisticated threats. Beyond these assessments, we are also collaborating to generate advanced skills training to improve our model capabilities into additional techniques for better protecting our products and models.

Expanding our security program
We are growing our security program across several dimensions, and are looking for passionate engineers in several areas. If you are interested in protecting OpenAI and our customers – and building the future of secure and trustworthy AI—we’d love to hear from you⁠(opens in a new window)!
