Cognizant Integrates GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in Frontier AI Defense Services

Cognizant announced in a press release that it is applying GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber within its Frontier AI Cyber Defense services. As part of the OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, the company aims to move enterprises from vulnerability discovery to validated fixes more efficiently.

Cognizant’s implementation uses GPT-5.5 across defensive workflows such as secure code review, threat modeling, vulnerability validation, and incident investigation. Each stage includes human verification and oversight. The system integrates into clients’ existing workflows while maintaining traditional security controls.

The company applies these same capabilities within its internal operations before extending them to clients. Cognizant’s teams use the AI model for secure code review, vulnerability triage, and validation across its own products and repositories.

Both Cognizant and OpenAI described the effort as part of a framework designed for responsible AI deployment in cybersecurity. The framework relies on monitored access and human oversight to keep control with designated security professionals.
