Helps global organizations strengthen operational resilience amid increasingly complex business risksÂ
Mastercard announced a new partnership with Interos, the hyper-growth operational resilience company, to further expand its security strategy and bring Interos’ multi-tier risk monitoring capabilities to financial institutions. This new offering allows organizations to proactively detect and eliminate risk across multiple  areas – including cyber, financial, ESG, restrictions, geopolitical and operational – throughout their network of business and merchant relationships.
Risk has taken on new dimensions in recent months. A growing number of complex and interconnected supplier and merchant business relationships mean threats can develop anywhere in an organization’s third-party business network. Many enterprises do not have the ability to track and mitigate these risks: according to Interos research, just 11% of organizations monitor their third-party risk on a continuous basis. However, according to a study by RiskRecon, a Mastercard company, 63% of organizations say managing third-party risk is a growing priority for their organization.

“The threat landscape is evolving rapidly and financial institutions are being exposed to potential disruption across multiple dimensions,” says Johan Gerber, executive vice president, Cyber and Security Products at Mastercard. “External risks are becoming more sophisticated and complex. Our partnership with Interos makes it simpler for financial institutions to continuously evaluate risk, helping advance security and trust in the digital ecosystem.”
