The collaboration focuses on taking AI capabilities beyond just improving productivity and efficiency and integrating AI directly into an organization\u2019s cybersecurity operations.<\/p>\n<p>As enterprise accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, they are getting exposed to increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats. The attackers are using AI to generate phishing campaigns and discover vulnerabilities. Legacy security mechanisms often fall short against this growing sophistication of cyberthreats.<\/p>\n<p>IBM is taking several initiatives to address these issues. IBM\u2019s newly introduced AI-powered application security service reviews application code and architecture to identify potential weaknesses. Large organizations often have millions of lines of code. IBM\u2019s AI solution can help in finding out and determining the high-risk areas. OpenAI\u2019s cyber capabilities can help determine whether a vulnerability is actually exploitable or not. The capability of validating vulnerabilities eliminates one of the biggest issues in cybersecurity, which is false positives.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration with OpenAI will act as a catalyst for IBM\u2019s project Lightwell. The project aims to improve security across the open-source software ecosystem. IBM has committed $5 billion to this project. Such investment in innovation and strategic collaboration will likely boost IBM\u2019s commercial prospects in the growing cybersecurity space.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Tech Firms Expanding&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zacks.com\/stock\/news\/2942217\/can-ibms-openai-partnership-strengthen-its-cybersecurity-business\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can IBM&#8217;s OpenAI Partnership Strengthen Its Cybersecurity Business? &#8211; June 24, 2026 https:\/\/www.zacks.com\/stock\/news\/2942217\/can-ibms-openai-partnership-strengthen-its-cybersecurity-business Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":280499,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/staticx-tuner.zacks.com\/images\/articles\/main\/3a\/521.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,25,57,27],"class_list":["post-280498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-phishing","tag-security","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280498"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280498"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280498\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":280500,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280498\/revisions\/280500"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
