Cybersecurity innovation is taking centre stage as Mastercard expands its Start Path programme to tackle digital threats head-on.
The global payment company’s latest initiative focuses squarely on startups developing tools in fraud prevention, digital identity and securing payments. With five startups in the first cohort, Mastercard aims to boost security at the foundation of the digital economy.
The new Security Solutions programme from Mastercard Start Path brings in startups from across the cybersecurity spectrum – OneID, Scamnetic, Spec, VanishID and Shield-IoT – selected through a global application process.
Each business offers a unique angle on digital protection, from online identity verification to scam detection and safeguarding connected payment systems.
