Key Takeaways
SpecterOps has been named to OpenAI’s inaugural Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) cohort (alongside Nvidia, CrowdStrike, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America and others) giving verified defenders governed access to advanced AI models for legitimate security use cases.
Frontier AI is compressing the window between vulnerability discovery and exploitation. As adversaries use AI to move faster, detection alone is no longer sufficient. The more important question is what attackers can reach once they’re in, and whether those paths have already been closed.
TAC enables SpecterOps to advance Identity Attack Path Management at machine speed, modeling how frontier AI reasons about chained permissions, lateral movement, and privilege escalation across AD, Entra, Okta, GitHub, and macOS environments.
The News
On April 16, OpenAI announced its Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program, naming SpecterOps among the inaugural cohort alongside organizations including Nvidia, CrowdStrike, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America. TAC gives verified defenders governed access to advanced cyber-capable models for legitimate security use cases, with access scaled through identity verification and tiered controls.
SpecterOps was selected because of our adversary tradecraft work: years of frontline experience with red teams and defenders at some of the largest enterprises and government agencies in the world, including OpenAI itself. We were also selected because of our pioneering approach to attack path management with BloodHound, which helps defenders eliminate the pathways to …
