OpenAI said on the 17th that it held the OpenAI Cyber CXO Roundtable at the Westin Seoul Parnas in Seoul's Gangnam district on the 16th.
The event brought together about 60 executives from Korean companies for presentations on cyber defense strategy and corporate security in the age of artificial intelligence. Speakers included Kim Kyung-hoon, head of OpenAI Korea, along with OpenAI cybersecurity specialists Dominic Grillo, who leads technical success, and Wana Tun, a security engineer.
OpenAI stressed the importance of finding and fixing vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Recent attack trends show that AI is rapidly improving at identifying software vulnerabilities and mapping attack paths, leaving companies less time to prepare their defenses. Defenders, by contrast, have an advantage when they use AI: they can give the models the code and operational context of the systems they manage.
OpenAI also introduced Daybreak and how it supports corporate security work. Daybreak is an integrated cyber defense solution that links OpenAI's AI models, Codex, Codex Security and security workflows. Companies can apply AI to the security tools and processes that run on Daybreak to uncover vulnerabilities. In a controlled environment, they can test whether a flaw is genuinely exploitable, draft a fix and confirm that the remedy works. Security staff and developers then review the supporting evidence and test results to decide whether to deploy the fix.
"For companies to quickly identify and respond to major security risks in the AI era, cybersecurity must be treated as a core management priority," Kim said. "We will help Korean companies bring AI into their existing security frameworks."
