SoftBank expands OpenAI-powered cybersecurity service in Japan - Light Reading

SoftBank has expanded its OpenAI-powered 'Patching as a Service' to 3,000 companies in Japan, as reported by Light Reading. The service uses OpenAI's cybersecurity models to identify vulnerabilities and automate the deployment of patches.

The service is designed to streamline the process of vulnerability management, which traditionally requires manual effort. By leveraging OpenAI's models, SoftBank aims to scale patch deployment across many organizations. The models are trained to detect security flaws in software and network configurations.

This move reflects a growing trend of integrating large language models into cybersecurity products. The company did not disclose which specific OpenAI models were used or the financial terms of the partnership.
