Visa processes billions of transactions every day. At VB Transform 2026 on July 14-15, Visa’s President of Technology Rajat Taneja is set to outline what the company has learned from Project Glasswing, a joint initiative with Anthropic that uses advanced AI to find software vulnerabilities faster than any human red team realistically can.
The headline finding is hard to ignore: in its first month alone, Project Glasswing helped participating organizations identify over 10,000 high- or critical-severity vulnerabilities.
What Project Glasswing actually does
Anthropic announced the project on April 7, 2026. Visa was among the first participants, using the initiative to stress-test its own internal systems against the zero-trust security framework the company operates under. The internal exercise confirmed that the framework is largely holding up. It also surfaced specific weaknesses worth patching.
The program launched with roughly 50 partner organizations. By early June 2026 it had grown to approximately 150 organizations across more than 15 countries.
