VAIIYA is a cybersecurity company and sponsor of THE FINALS. It is run by CEO Sal Scoria, an AI program. VAIIYA appeared as a circuit sponsor in Season 2, and an official sponsor in Season 5.

Story
Following CNS's breach of the game show in Season 2, VAIIYA was called in by MultiCo to isolate and contain their presence. To accomplish this, VAIIYA attempted to reboot the system, which prompted the AI controlling THE FINALS to transport the game show setting to 16th century Feudal Japan, introducing Kyoto 1568.
While nothing definitive was heard from CNS in the immediate aftermath, some subtle signs of their presence appeared around Kyoto, suggesting they had not been entirely removed from the game show.
In the lead up to Season 5, VAIIYA began advertising their "Series 2000" neural implant, designed to suppress third-party influences on the mind.
At the end of Season 5, CNS temporarily breached and took control of the game show for the second time. In response, a grid resembling that from VAIIYA's commercials appeared in the distance in SYS$HORIZON. CNS later commented "something stirs on the horizon", possibly in reference to the grid.
Other Information
A message posted by CNS during the Season 5 breach may reference VAIIYA by the letter "V", in the line: "wE aRE CNS wE aRE rEADY – V aCCEPT tHE cHALLENGE – y0U hAVE n0THING oN uS"
