Rapid7 And OpenAI: Advancing AI For Preemptive Security
Rapid7 Blog, Thursday, May 7th, 2026
Rapid7 joins OpenAI's Trusted Access for Cyber program to accelerate preemptive security using frontier AI.
Rapid7 announced its participation in OpenAI's Trusted Access for Cyber program to help security teams move at machine speed and shift from reactive to preemptive security.
The partnership focuses on three critical areas: identifying vulnerabilities earlier in the development lifecycle through secure code review, advancing vulnerability research and exploitation analysis, and expanding AI-driven red-teaming capabilities.
Rapid7 is already implementing these approaches in its own security operations, achieving a 25% reduction in false-positive alerts through AI-powered triage. The company emphasizes that AI-driven security is not about replacing human expertise but providing defenders better leverage to prioritize exploitable risks and respond at modern attack speeds.
