Cloudflare has partnered with OpenAI to introduce a new service for Vulnerability Discovery and Remediation, utilizing OpenAI's Daybreak models, including GPT-5.6 Cyber. This service aims to address the increasing number of software vulnerabilities, which reached 60,475 by September 2026, surpassing the total of 48,185 for all of 2025. The tool combines deep code investigation and automated patch generation with real-time security context from Cloudflare's global network. It allows organizations to identify high-risk vulnerabilities and block attacks at the edge before exploitation. Matthew Prince, Cloudflare's CEO, emphasized the need for an automated approach to security, moving away from manual patching. The service is currently available in early access through Cloudflare Managed Defense, targeting organizations struggling with traditional vulnerability management tools. This initiative is part of a broader trend to enhance cybersecurity defenses against AI-driven attacks.
