OpenAI said on Thursday it hosted a \"Cyber CXO Roundtable\" in Seoul, inviting about 60 executives including chief information security officers from South Korean companies. OpenAI Korea head Kim Kyung-hoon (김경훈) and other staff introduced AI-based strategies for responding to cyber threats. OpenAI said improvements in AI-driven vulnerability detection and attack-path analysis are cutting response times and underscored proactive defence. It also introduced its Daybreak integrated cyber defence solution and shared experience building a \"Defense Factory\" operating model.

OpenAI is preparing to introduce “inference residency” in South Korea so Korean users’ AI inference computing is handled at domestic data centres. OpenAI Korea chief Kim Kyung-hoon said the company is discussing securing GPUs and cloud infrastructure with several local partners and expects to offer the service in the near term. OpenAI already supports data residency in Korea, but some data can move overseas during inference.
