OpenAI Partners with Cathedral Systems for Security Sprint, Quadruples Bug Bounty Rewards

Key Info

OpenAI is planning its next internal security sprint and partnering with Cathedral Systems, whose researchers will use OpenAI models alongside OpenAI teams to probe and strengthen its defenses. OpenAI is also raising bug bounty rewards, with critical findings eligible for up to $172,000 including bonuses.

Highlights

• OpenAI frames the effort as putting AI to work for defenders before attackers can exploit it.
• Cathedral Systems researchers will bring outside expertise to OpenAI's ongoing work of finding and fixing weaknesses with AI.
• Bug bounty rewards are increasing, including more than quadrupling payouts for critical findings.
• Exceptional findings can earn up to $172,000 including bonuses.
• The updated reward ranges also apply to reports still awaiting a bounty, and OpenAI will pay the difference for qualifying bounties awarded in the past 30 days.
