The Rising Threat Curve: How AI and Intelligence are redefining Fraud Protection

As fraud and cyber threats grow in scale and sophistication, intelligence‑led protection has become essential for safeguarding consumers, businesses, and the payments ecosystem. In this session, Mastercard’s Michele EVP Services Europe and [Head of Fraud, NGB] will discuss the expanding threat landscape and how Mastercard Threat Intelligence is enabling organisations to detect, prevent, and respond to attacks before they cause harm. Drawing on real‑world trends, the panel will explore how threat intelligence provides early visibility into emerging vulnerabilities, fraud patterns, and dark‑web activity. They will also highlight the value of collaborative intelligence across industries and borders, and share practical examples of how banks, fintechs, and merchants are using AI solutions to build more resilient defences.
