NCC Group selected to join OpenAI Daybreak cyber partner programme

NCC Group PLC on Tuesday said it has been selected to join the OpenAI LP’s Daybreak cyber partner programme.

The Manchester, England-based company said the invite-only group will gain access to San Francisco-based ChatGPT owner Open AI’s ‘frontier’ cyber capabilities, to advance the safe application of AI in cyber resilience.

Through this program, NCC Group will gain access to a version of OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 which has been configured to explore cyber resilience use cases. NCC Group’s technical teams will assess the model’s capabilities and provide feedback to OpenAI, with an initial focus on internal research using security testing data.

Chief Executive Mike Maddison said: ‘NCC Group is researching ways to apply GPT-5.5 capabilities to our services to help experienced defenders discover vulnerabilities, strengthen security workflows, and improve resilience for clients.’

Shares in NCC fell 1.3% to 122.00 pence each in London on Tuesday.
