The Defender’s Window
OpenAI describes a staged program for AI-assisted defense: use agents to review code and infrastructure, triage alerts, enumerate attack paths, and validate security invariants while retaining strong isolation and least privilege. Its recommended rollout starts with internet-facing services and vulnerability backlogs, moves security review into CI, requires focused fixes and regression tests, and expands from read-only triage to narrowly bounded automation only after teams build evidence and confidence.
