Tel Aviv-based software security leader, OX Security, has announced the launch of OX-GPT, which it claims is the first ChatGPT integration specifically designed to enhance the security of software supply chains. The new integration serves up customised fix recommendations and cut-and-paste code fixes to developers, allowing for the swift remediation of any critical security problems across the sector.
OX is the first company to utilise ChatGPT as a tool to thwart cyber attacks. While hackers have already begun to use AI models such as ChatGPT in recent months to find and make use of vulnerabilities, develop malware, and produce phishing emails, the new technology is being hailed as essential in the fight against cybercrime.
Previously, security teams were often required to use a range of different tools in order to protect software supply chains, leading to an overly complex and fragmented workflow. The ChatGPT integration is intended to reduce the number of alerts and shift the emphasis back towards providing more direct and rapid support for developers, helping to rebuild trust in their practices.
OX Security CEO and Co-Founder, Neatsun Ziv, argues that one of the objectives of the integration is to restore some confidence to developers. They should be provided with more control over security and given access to a comprehensive understanding of current issues, including how they could be exploited by hackers, their potential impact, and the potential damage to an organisation.
Ziv explains: “Flooded by alerts, developers often become frustrated and overwhelmed. After wasting enough time chasing false positives, they lose trust in these tools and no longer see the value in the activities that security asks them to perform. We want to bring that trust back.”
If the trust of developers can be restored, OX-GPT may be instrumental in keeping organisations one step ahead of cybercriminals. When software supply chains are vulnerable and unsecured, attackers have an opportunity to cause widespread harm and take control of vital systems and stored data. By providing developers with more autonomy and support, OX Security is confident it can enable organisations to stay ahead of the curve, thwarting would-be attackers and keeping sensitive information secure.
The new integration offers greater context for the specific issues under scrutiny, as well as what actions a hacker might take to exploit the vulnerabilities present. Developers will therefore have access to information and tools that can help them to quickly assess and remedy identified issues. The cut-and-paste code and supported advice will also help to explain why the fix works.
While developers may not typically have security as their primary focus, OX Security’s CISO, Shai Sivan, hopes that the new integration will enable them to focus a little more on safeguarding their work. By investing a little time into remedying risks in the pre-production stages of development, it should be possible to avoid having to deal with crisis situations further down the line.

OX Security was founded by Neatsun Ziv and Lior Arzi. Both had previously worked at Check Point’s Security Group. OX provides a complete end-to-end software supply chain security solution that brings security and integrity to every step of the development of software, right through to deployment to production.
