Ory integrates OpenAI defensive AI into its development lifecycle to harden core IAM components and protect millions of authentication flows.
Bastion host searches are up 30% as security teams scramble to manage agentic AI. Discover why perimeter defense falls short and what you need instead.
Identity is the front door to the modern internet. When millions of developers, enterprises, and end-users log in to their favorite AI services every day, they rely on zero-trust identity architecture to keep their data safe.
That is why we are thrilled to announce that Ory has officially joined the OpenAI Trusted Access Program (Trusted Access for Cyber).
This partnership represents a major milestone in defensive engineering - creating a powerful feedback loop that elevates the security baseline for both Ory and OpenAI.
At Ory, we build enterprise grade identity and access management (IAM) infrastructure. OpenAI relies on Ory's cloud-native identity stack to power authentication and authorization flows at an immense global scale. When your software sits on the critical path of hundreds of millions of weekly active users, security isn't just a feature—it is the foundation.
Joining the Trusted Access Program creates a unique dual-sided benefit:
At Ory, we believe defenders must prepare for advanced AI-assisted security techniques before they become commonplace. Trusted Access helps us evaluate emerging capabilities in controlled environments, strengthen our systems against the risks they may introduce, and stay one step ahead of the public threat curve.
By integrating Trusted Access capabilities directly into our Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC), Ory is moving from reactive patching to proactive, AI-assisted resilience:
AI is shifting the dynamics of cybersecurity. Defenders need tools that move faster, reason deeper, and operate at software scale - while remaining grounded in controlled environments, least-privilege access, and human oversight. By combining OpenAI’s frontier defensive capabilities with Ory’s mission-critical identity infrastructure, we are working to identify weaknesses earlier, validate fixes faster, and strengthen the open-source identity ecosystem.
