Description
OpenAI’s Cybersecurity Grant Program is a $1M initiative supporting the development of AI-powered cybersecurity tools and research for defenders.
- Grants (starting at $10,000) are available for practical, defensive cybersecurity projects leveraging AI, such as automating incident triage, detecting social engineering, or improving patch management.
- Funding is provided as API credits, direct funding, or equivalents, with a focus on projects that maximize public benefit and sharing.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with strong preference for tools, methods, or processes that empower defenders and elevate AI-cybersecurity discourse.
- Offensive-security projects are not eligible; all work should be intended for broad public distribution.
