Introducing Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red

Daybreak now offers two access tiers for approved defenders: Daybreak Blue and Daybreak Red. Use them to move from security findings to validated fixes in explicitly authorized engagements. Start with Daybreak Blue for most defensive security work. It provides access to general-purpose models such as GPT-5.6 Sol for vulnerability discovery, secure code review, detection engineering, incident response, malware analysis, and patch validation. Daybreak Red provides separately approved access to purpose-trained models such as GPT-5.6 Cyber for authorized vulnerability reproduction, exploit validation, penetration testing, red teaming, and complex system analysis. Access requires approval through Trusted Access for Cyber and applies only to the approved identity, workspace or API organization and project, model, and product surface. Daybreak Red requires separate approval and provisioning; Daybreak Blue access doesn't grant access to Daybreak Red. Work in an isolated environment, define your engagement scope, use least-privilege permission profiles, and configure Auto-review for eligible actions before they cross the sandbox boundary.
