Daybreak and Future of Secure Software Development

The report evaluates AI initiatives like OpenAI’s Daybreak, arguing they will accelerate vulnerability discovery and raise the baseline for secure development but will not remove the operational conditions that drive most breaches; attackers exploit known vulnerabilities, credential theft, and process gaps. It stresses that AI is a force multiplier that must be integrated with telemetry, workflows, and human expertise to produce measurable improvements in security outcomes.
