Jason Kwon, Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of OpenAI, stated at a press conference held on the 27th, "Advanced cyber AI capabilities should not be concentrated in the hands of a few. Key defense stakeholders in Korea must be able to utilize these capabilities to enhance collective security and public safety." He added, "We will collaborate with the government, public institutions, and companies to strengthen Korea's capabilities in the field of cybersecurity."


The Korea Cyber Action Plan is an implementation plan designed to enable the Korean government, public institutions, and domestic companies to access AI-powered cyber defense capabilities. This initiative is based on OpenAI's cybersecurity project "Daybreak." The goal is to go beyond the conventional approach of identifying and patching vulnerabilities and to strengthen cyber defense starting from the software design stage.


The core element of this plan is the participation of the Korean government and public institutions in the Government & Agency Trust-based Access Program (GTAC). GTAC is a program tailored to governments and public institutions, and the Korean government, along with Japan, will become the third participant following the United States and Canada.


OpenAI will provide briefings and demonstrations on the latest cyber AI capabilities and expand the participation of Korean companies in the Trust-based Access Cyber program (TAC), which selectively opens the latest AI models to trusted partner companies.

Comprehensive collaboration was highlighted as a key differentiator from Anthropic's cybersecurity partnership and the Glasswing Project. The aim is to provide powerful AI technology to a broader range of defense stakeholders, rather than restricting it to a limited number of organizations. CSO Kwon explained, "This is applied comprehensively, leveraging OpenAI's service capabilities and computational power," and added, "As AI capabilities and development speeds accelerate, we hope trusted stakeholders will rapidly build their defensive capabilities."


OpenAI stated, "Collaboration in cybersecurity is an example of advanced AI being used to solve real-world societal and industrial problems in Korea." The company emphasized that verified defense stakeholders, institutions, and relevant authorities will be able to access advanced AI models with cyber capabilities based on trust, thereby strengthening resilience at the national institutional level.



Meanwhile, OpenAI is also working with domestic institutions in areas such as public infrastructure, policy finance, and corporate innovation to support the resolution of social issues and drive industrial innovation through AI technology.
