# Scaling Trusted Access for Cyber with GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5-Cyber

# Claim

OpenAI expands Trusted Access for Cyber with GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5-Cyber, helping verified defenders accelerate vulnerability research and protect critical infrastructure.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section one: model and benchmark capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

OpenAI is describing a frontier or production capability that pushes directly on the thesis. The important signal is not the marketing language; it is the widening set of tasks now being routed through model-driven execution rather than ordinary software or headcount.
