Visa Expands Support for its Clients and the Industry as Organisations Navigate New AI Era of Cybersecurity

Latest Visa Vulnerability Agentic Harness release moves AI-powered cyber risk management from discovery to validated remediation

New services from Visa Consulting & Analytics help clients identify the vulnerabilities that matter most and act before bad actors do

SINGAPORE , Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Visa (NYSE: V) today announced enhancements to its cybersecurity portfolio to help organisations identify and fix vulnerabilities more effectively. Unveiling the next evolution of the Visa Vulnerability Agentic Harness (VVAH), its open-source, model-agnostic framework, Visa is helping organisations significantly reduce the Mean Time to Adapt (MTTA), the time between discovery and resolution of attack paths, with some resolutions shrinking from weeks to hours.

And to help clients navigate this evolving threat landscape, Visa also announced the expansion of its Visa Consulting & Analytics (VCA) Cybersecurity Advisory Practice with new advisory services designed to help clients assess risk, prioritise remediation efforts and strengthen resilience in an evolving threat environment.

Originally released following Visa's participation in Anthropic's frontier AI cybersecurity initiative, Project Glasswing, VVAH demonstrated how AI can help security teams uncover vulnerabilities, assess exploitability and generate structured findings. The latest release extends that workflow beyond discovery into remediation and validation.

The framework is designed to help organisations discover, triage, remediate and validate vulnerabilities within a single structured workflow.

To help organisations operationalise those insights, Visa Consulting & Analytics is introducing three new cybersecurity advisory services informed by Visa's experience in AI-powered security:

"Across Asia Pacific, AI is accelerating both the scale of cyber threats and the speed at which vulnerabilities can be exploited. In this environment, identifying vulnerabilities is no longer the differentiator. The real challenge is determining which risks matter most and remediating them before they can be leveraged by attackers. In essence, shifting focus from 'number of vulnerabilities identified' to ' Mean Time to Adapt ' has become more critical than ever," sai d Prateek Sanghi, Head of Visa Consulting & Analytics, Asia Pacif ic . "By combining insights from Project Glasswing, VVAH, and decades of payments and risk expertise, we help clients focus remediation efforts where they will have the greatest impact, strengthen resilience, and stay ahead of an increasingly complex threat landscape."

Over the past year, Visa Consulting & Analytics' Cybersecurity Advisory Practice has supported clients across a range of cybersecurity advisory engagements intended to help clients evaluate cybersecurity maturity, assess areas of cyber risk, and identify potential prioritise for strengthening risk management and operational resilience.
