OpenAI has introduced Aardvark, a GPT-5-powered security agent that scans, analyzes, and patches software to detect hidden bugs.
Aardvark is currently in private beta and aims to integrate AI-driven defense into the development workflow, mimicking the work of a human security researcher.
OpenAI Aardvark is different as it mimics a human security researcher. It uses LLM-powered reasoning to understand code semantics and behavior, reading and analyzing code the way a human security researcher would.
Aardvark's approach differs from conventional scanners, as it analyzes the behavior of code to identify potential vulnerabilities.
According to Pareekh Jain, CEO at EIIRTrend, Aardvark represents a significant step towards AI-driven software security.
