Check Point Joins OpenAI’s TAC Program and Daybreak Initiative

Check Point Software has been approved as a member of OpenAI’s Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program and accepted into Daybreak, OpenAI’s cybersecurity initiative for vetted security organizations.

The threat landscape is being shaped by AI. Threat actors are using it to move faster, craft more convincing attacks, and find vulnerabilities at scale. Cyber defenders need equivalent or stronger capabilities, and the quality of the models powering defensive security workflows is a real variable in that equation.

As a Trusted Access for Cyber member, Check Point now leverages GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber as part of its defensive security operations. This supports security teams with analyzing threats, investigating incidents, or building detections in real time. Security operations do not pause for friction.

Daybreak goes further, additionally providing Check Point with access to OpenAI’s Codex harness and direct expert support from OpenAI’s cybersecurity team. This is a collaborative framework, and having dedicated support from the team building the models that power Check Point’s defensive workflows is a meaningful operational advantage.

“The quality of the models powering your defenses is no longer a technical detail, it is a strategic one. Trusted Access for Cyber and Daybreak give us access to OpenAI’s most capable models and the expert support to operationalize them, which means faster, more accurate protection for the enterprises we serve,” said Jonathan Zanger, Chief Technology Officer at Check Point Software Technologies.

OpenAI Trusted Access for Cyber and Daybreak membership represent foundational investments in how Check Point integrates AI into its security platform, built with the rigor and responsibility that enterprise security demands.
