Cybercrime has turned into a global economy now estimated to be worth trillions of euros
To address the ever-evolving threat landscape, the ECRC brings together partners from across the public and private sectors. By leveraging its facilities and diverse talent pool, it facilitates collaboration with national cyber intelligence centres, law enforcement agencies, and industry bodies across Europe.
Michael Miebach, CEO, Mastercard, said: “In today’s hyperconnected world, cybercrime is evolving and so are we. This centre will bring together the brightest minds from business, government and other sectors to stay ahead of threats and make the digital world as secure as possible. Afterall, the work to ensure people can trust that they are safe online doesn’t stop at our four walls or our firewalls.”
The Centre bolsters Mastercard’s ability to combat cyber threats across the digital ecosystem and helps it protect, detect, and respond to attacks. It fosters deeper connections with customers, partners, and stakeholders and drives collaboration across the region, enhancing resilience.
The Mastercard European Cyber Resilience Centre includes a Fusion Centre, the heart of Mastercard’s organisational incident response, and a Digital Forensics Lab in addition to representatives from more than 20 teams.
