LAS VEGAS - Mastercard, a financial services giant with a market capitalization of $518 billion and an impressive 100% gross margin, announced Monday the launch of Mastercard Threat Intelligence, a solution designed to help financial institutions detect and prevent payment fraud by combining the company’s payment insights with threat intelligence from Recorded Future. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong financial health score, reflecting its robust position in the digital payments landscape.
The new offering, unveiled at Money20/20 USA, aims to bridge communication gaps between cybersecurity and fraud teams at issuing and acquiring banks. According to Mastercard, 60 percent of global fraud leaders report they are notified of cyber breaches only after fraud losses begin.
"As the lines between cybercrime and financial crime continue to blur, innovation is an imperative," said Johan Gerber, global head of Security Solutions at Mastercard.
The solution includes features such as card testing detection with real-time alerts, digital skimming intelligence to disrupt card-related malware, merchant threat intelligence, and regular reports on emerging threats across the payment landscape.
Mastercard stated that during market testing over six months, the threat intelligence data helped identify and take down malicious domains that had impacted nearly 9,500 e-commerce sites and were linked to an estimated $120 million in fraud.
Tracy Goldberg, director of Cybersecurity at Javelin Strategy & Research, noted in the press release that "effective cybersecurity will increasingly depend on threat intelligence that crosses sectors and regions."
The launch comes less than a year after Mastercard’s acquisition of Recorded Future, demonstrating the companies’ focus on securing the digital economy through intelligence-led approaches.
Mastercard Threat Intelligence is now available for issuers and acquirers globally, according to the company’s announcement.
In other recent news, Mastercard announced the appointment of Jill Kramer as its new Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, effective December 1, 2025. Kramer, who previously held the same position at Accenture, will succeed Raja Rajamannar. Meanwhile, Mastercard has also introduced a new digital media network called Mastercard Commerce Media, designed to enhance ad targeting by leveraging transaction data to connect advertisers with consumers. This initiative builds on Mastercard’s existing base of 25,000 advertisers and 500 million enrolled consumers.
Additionally, the company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of 76 cents per share, payable on November 7, 2025, to shareholders of record as of October 9, 2025. Mastercard has also launched On-Demand Decisioning, a solution offering financial institutions enhanced control over transaction authorization decisions, announced at the global RiskX cybersecurity summit.

These developments highlight Mastercard’s ongoing efforts to innovate and expand its leadership team.
