Visa has launched a global Cybersecurity Advisory Practice under Visa Consulting & Analytics to help clients navigate growing cyber risks.
The initiative gives businesses access to insights and tools to identify, assess, and prevent emerging threats.
The practice draws on Visa’s global network of consultants, data scientists, and product experts.
It currently offers services such as employee training, cybersecurity maturity assessments, and defences against enumeration attacks.
Additional offerings like threat intelligence and vulnerability testing are expected to follow.
Jeremiah Dewey has been appointed as global head of cyber products, responsible for leading Visa’s cybersecurity solutions and forging strategic partnerships.
He brings more than two decades of experience in managed security, incident response, and consulting across the public and private sectors.
Visa said clients are beginning to benefit from its US$12 billion investment in technology and infrastructure over the past five years, which includes significant spending on cybersecurity and fraud prevention.
“When it comes to cybersecurity and fraud prevention, proactive detection and response is key. Our clients – which range from small mom-and-pop shops to larger enterprises – need comprehensive resources that can be scaled to meet the unique needs of their business.
We’re excited to welcome Jeremiah to the team as we continue developing innovative offerings that help clients of all sizes understand their risks and stay cybersecure.”
said James Mirfin, Global Head of Risk and Identity Solutions at Visa.
“Cybersecurity is no longer seen as a cost center, but as a vital part of any business’ growth strategy.
By combining the latest advancements in AI technology with the expertise of our consulting and analytics practice, we continue delivering enhanced offerings that help our clients stay competitive in a rapidly evolving threat environment.”
said Carl Rutstein, Global Head of Advisory Services for Visa.
