Historically, cybersecurity was a defensive game – the when, where and how was often in the hands of the attacker. But protecting our customers’ data requires a more proactive approach in this age of ever-increasing data breaches and cybersecurity incidents. That means Mastercard is focused on cybersecurity 24/7/365—and we’re taking this month (National Cyber Security Awareness Month, also known as NCSAM) to share the exciting ways we’re staying ahead of attacks.
Recently, we hosted futurist Brian David Johnson to our Operations and Technology headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri to lead an exercise in “threatcasting.” This initiative brings together a diverse group of practitioners to envision future means of attack—and improve our defenses for the entire cyber ecosystem, not just the parts that touch Mastercard directly. In this exercise, our employees and partners worked together to forecast future scenarios, a decade or more into the future, and put markers and plans in place to tackle future scenarios as they develop.
A key part of this exercise was to bring in not only a wide-ranging team from within our walls, but our customers and partners as well. In creating this inclusive team, we were able to develop strong ideas and capture a wider view of threats facing us and opportunities for the future. These attacks target not only our business but the entire payment and technology ecosystem. Criminals do not care about the boundaries between us and our partners, and sharing defensive techniques and building game plans with our customers and partners is critical to the safety of all.
By using tools such as threatcasting, we gain the ability to combat oncoming threats, allowing us to take the initiative against cybercriminals. But, this is just one tool in our arsenal of ways we protect our customers’ data from attackers: from the Fusion Center, where we bring together experts from across the organization to monitor and respond to threats, to the Cyber Readiness Institute, where we share defense techniques with our partners to further protect the entire financial sector.
As Brian David Johnson shared, “The future isn’t fixed. Organizations and companies build the future when they are able to take clear, deliberate steps together.” In adopting this new way of thinking, we can approach the future with the thought of “what can we do?” With our employees, and partners, we can take the initiative against criminals and create a more secure future for our customers together.

Hackers is the worst nightmare of mastercard as well as for the one who is carrying it as well. We can all come together and work to make such things possible which can prevent all causes of hacking cards.
you give long range on info.
Cyber attacks are very rampant nowadays. There should be a strict law that can stop this cruelty.
You need to learn about the content and safety settings of your game systems. There may be choices offered that prevent younger family members from viewing adult or even questionable content. You can sometimes even customize the acceptable levels for each person’s individual profile so that you can enjoy titles not appropriate for children.
Consider buying video game items used. To help you save money and save the environment, buy used items. You can usually find used game systems, games, controllers and anything else you need or want. Either look online or at a local video game store that sells used gaming items.
Thank you

Video gaming can literally take you out of this world and into a completely different place where chivalry rules the day, or a nuclear melt down has morphed all of humanity into zombies! Or maybe you want to game to up your GPA by a few points! Hopefully this article has increased your knowledge and benefits your next game.
Take video game breaks. Sitting in the same position for too long can be dangerous to your overall health. Force yourself every half an hour to hit that pause button and walk around the room for a bit. This will help your body as well as clear your mind.
Really great tips. Normally I wouldn’t think twice about cyber attacks, but given that it’s the 21st century, I’ll for sure be more aware, thanks for the insights.
There are lot of people nowadays who are very desperate to hack and get as much personal information that they can get from us. So we really need to be careful and be prepared when this happens.
Scammers everywhere. We just need to secure our information very tightly.
Thank you..!
With regards to security mindfulness preparing, are organizations picking consistence over security? At this point, with the various prominent information breaks and all-things-digital commanding the news cycles, most workers comprehend that cyberattacks are a genuine risk. However, the normal security mindfulness preparing projects are slacking, encapsulated by poorly endeavored consistence tick-the-container activities that sit around idly and assets. As indicated by Gartner inquire about, more than $1.2B has been spent on PC based preparing since 2015, and recreated phishing click-rates have dropped quite recently 1% from 2017 to 2018. This present-day hole requires an alternate methodology.
Thank you!
Interesting post. Network and endpoint security still receives the lion’s share of cybersecurity budgets today. The trouble is the majority of advanced cyber threats target people …
Thanks for sharing this. Keep it up!
Great article! no doubt Thanks for sharing
