Mastercard partners with Cloudflare to strengthen cybersecurity for digital commerce #
Mastercard has announced a new cybersecurity partnership with Cloudflare, aimed at improving protection against online fraud, bot attacks, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) threats. The collaboration will integrate Cloudflare’s network security capabilities with Mastercard’s fraud detection and threat intelligence systems to enhance resilience across digital payment ecosystems
The initiative is designed to help merchants and financial institutions mitigate increasingly sophisticated cyber risks, particularly as eCommerce volumes and real-time payments grow. Mastercard said the partnership reflects its broader strategy to embed cybersecurity directly into payment infrastructure, rather than treating it as a standalone service.
