_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.

**Expanding VVAH **

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.

Key enhancements include:

 ◦ **Closed-loop remediation:** Structured feedback helps teams refine fixes that
   fail validation without restarting the process.
 ◦ **Flexible model choice:** Organisations can now deploy approved Anthropic models
   and OpenAI models, in addition to any other AI model through configuration rather
   than code changes.
 ◦ **Greater visibility:** Optional real-time progress views provide additional 
   transparency into long-running scans and remediation workflows.

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

**New Cybersecurity Services **

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:

 ◦ **AI Cyber Leadership Education** – Executive workshops, trainings, and Visa 
   University certification courses led by Visa’s AI and cybersecurity specialists,
   sharing lessons from Visa’s experience with frontier AI cybersecurity, helping
   leaders prepare for an increasingly AI-driven threat environment.
 ◦ **VVAH-Informed Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment** – Helps organisations apply
   VVAH framework to identify and evaluate potential vulnerabilities, understand
   areas of risk and prioritise remediation efforts.
 ◦ **VVAH Cyber Risk Prioritisation and Roadmap** – Provides strategic guidance 
   to help organisations evaluate findings, prioritise remediation efforts, and 
   develop a long-term cyber risk management roadmap.

"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," said **Prateek Sanghi, Head 
of Visa Consulting & Analytics, Asia Pacific**. "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. One example is CAIXA Cartões, which worked with Visa to support its 
cybersecurity maturity assessment and help prioritize its risk management and operational
resilience initiatives:

"At CAIXA, we understand that cybersecurity is a fundamental pillar for customer
trust and business sustainability in an increasingly complex digital environment,"
said **Lessandro Thomaz, Executive Director at CAIXA Cartões**. "Our partnership
with Visa has helped broaden our strategic perspective on cybersecurity by providing
a structured assessment of the maturity of our processes and supporting the prioritization
of initiatives focused on risk management and operational resilience. Projects like
this reinforce the importance of collaboration between financial institutions and
strategic partners to anticipate challenges, strengthen capabilities and deliver
increasingly secure and reliable solutions to our customers."

**Growing Momentum Across the Security Community**

Since its open-source release in June 2026, VVAH has been downloaded by tens of 
thousands of developers across the world, reflecting growing interest in practical
AI-powered vulnerability management. Visa also recently joined industry initiatives
to further support the development of safe, secure and open practices as frontier
AI continues to evolve. As a part of NVIDIA’s Open Secure AI Alliance, Visa is contributing
VVAH as a model-agnostic framework, and through IBM and Red Hat’s Project Lightwell
initiative, Visa is collaborating with other organisations to help secure open-source
software.
