Powering Cybersecurity with Mastercard

Mastercard cybersecurity solutions protect the people, transactions and devices that power businesses

Mastercard cybersecurity solutions encourage greater trust and resilience in payments and beyond.

Our capabilities provide organisations with the tools and resources to prevent cyber threats while achieving growth and maintaining regulatory compliance.

New technologies bring opportunities and challenges

The prevalence and interconnection of digital technologies have increased both the vulnerability points and sophistication of cyber criminals. Businesses must now be more vigilant than ever as the world goes more digital, significantly increasing the attack surface size.

Creating a solid cybersecurity infrastructure is crucial for businesses

Many businesses struggle to keep up with the evolving ecosystem with infinite points of vulnerability. Investing in cybersecurity infrastructure is imperative for businesses to be secure in today’s complex threat environment.

Mastercard delivers cyber resilience and trust to power a connected economy

Mastercard’s solutions enable businesses to understand their risks and vulnerabilities and implement mitigation strategies. We take a dual-pronged approach to strengthen programs and enhance current investments. From the outside-in, our Detect & Protect approach proactively assesses networks for vulnerabilities, screens all transactions and limits fraud. From the inside-out, we Assess, Advise & Stimulate the risk exposure of an organisation’s cybersecurity processes, technology and workforce security practices.

Key benefits:
  • Network & ecosystem security
  • Holistic & scalable solutions
  • Industry standards & leadership
  • Global support, local relevance
Why is this interesting for traditional cybersecurity specialists?

Mastercard has been applying our cybersecurity principles to secure our global payments network for the past 50 years. We protect over 18 petabytes of sensitive data, mitigate 3.2 million phishing attempts on our network annually and detect and defeat 200 attacks on our network every minute of every day.

Mastercard brings our security framework and decades of expertise to build trust within the connected economy through cybersecurity capabilities.

Together, we can create a better way to defend the ecosystem.

Mastercard has been named in Forrester’s recent landscape report, “The Cyber Risk Quantification Landscape, Q4 2022”, which breaks down cyber risk quantification solutions offered by notable vendors.
