OpenAI has announced that it will provide European companies, including Deutsche Telekom and BBVA, with access to its latest models, such as GPT-5.5-Cyber, to enhance their cybersecurity resilience. This initiative is part of OpenAI’s “Trusted Access for Cyber” program, aimed at verified companies across crucial sectors. OpenAI’s move comes amid increasing scrutiny from the European Commission, which is in talks with both OpenAI and competitor Anthropic regarding direct access to advanced AI models amidst heightened concerns about cybersecurity threats.

OpenAI: OpenAI is an AI research organization that develops and deploys advanced large language models like the GPT series for applications in coding, research, data analysis, and more. It recently introduced GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro, rolling them out to users in ChatGPT and Codex, with API availability following shortly after. In response to EU regulatory concerns over frontier AI models, OpenAI is providing European authorities and companies access to models like GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5-Cyber to support cybersecurity reviews and enhance regional AI resilience.
