Bengaluru, August 15, 2026: SISA, a global leader in cybersecurity for the payment ecosystem, today launched ReleaseWise, an AI-native product security solution that brings the depth of an expert code reviewer and the discipline of a forensic investigation into modern software development. ReleaseWise is part of the SISA One platform.

Software now ships every day, and AI has made attackers faster. But the risks that matter most have moved — into business logic, access rules, and the way components trust one another. Pattern-based scanners match signatures; they cannot see these flaws. And an AI pointed straight at code produces the opposite problem: confident results that no one can trust.

ReleaseWise closes both gaps. It reasons about how an application actually behaves to find the deep flaws patterns miss — then proves each one with evidence before reporting it. Reasoning finds the risk; verification confirms it. Nothing is reported until it is checked against the real code.

“Applications today evolve at a pace and complexity that demand a different approach to security. Known patterns will always matter, but the risks that matter most only become visible when you understand how an application behaves as a whole. ReleaseWise brings that understanding to product security — and pairs it with the rigour to prove what it finds.”

Dharshan Shanthamurthy, Founder & CEO, SISA

AI security, without being left behind

The most capable frontier security models remain out of reach for most organizations — restricted to a handful with special access. SISA believes no organization should have to wait. ReleaseWise lets teams start finding real issues with AI today, using any capable model they can access.

Because ReleaseWise is model-independent, organizations can run it self-hosted for full data control, or with the model of their choice — and improve their results as stronger models become available to them. As long as a team has access to a capable model, ReleaseWise is built to turn it into reliable security findings.

Reasoning, then proof

Most AI security tools raise findings and leave teams to sort real from false. ReleaseWise works the other way. Its scanners and AI reasoning only ever raise candidates. Each candidate is then re-examined against the actual code, cross-checked, and challenged before it is confirmed. Overlapping issues are merged into one. Weak or incorrect results are removed. What remains is a short list of verified findings — each with a clear explanation of the risk and how to fix it.

The outcome for teams:

• Clarity — verified findings, not a backlog of unconfirmed alerts.

• Depth — visibility into business-logic and authorization risks that pattern-based tools miss.

• Control — run it self-hosted or with the model of your choice; deploy it within SISA One, on-premises, or in your own cloud.

• Continuity — security that runs with every change, keeping pace with delivery.

Built on payment-ecosystem forensics

ReleaseWise is not generic. What it looks for is shaped by SISA’s decades of breach investigation across the payment ecosystem. It knows the risks that matter in banking and payment applications — how card data moves, where PCI-DSS controls apply, how transactions must stay trustworthy — the kind of flaws a general-purpose scanner would never think to check. The deeper the domain knowledge, the sharper the results.

“AI on its own is not enough. To be reliable, AI-driven security needs context, controlled coverage, and verification. ReleaseWise brings these together — so findings are proven before they reach security teams. The goal is better-supported findings, not more alerts.”

Mahendran Chandramohan, CTO & Head of DFIR, SISA

Every ReleaseWise finding answers three questions: what the issue is, how an attacker could reach it, and how to fix it. With ReleaseWise, SISA extends the SISA One platform into product security — helping organizations move from automated coverage to proven, context-aware assurance.
