Cybersecurity isn’t just about technology, data, and threats — it’s about trust. We engaged Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study to gain a better understanding of the quantitative and qualitative benefits our customers experience by using Mastercard Threat Protection as their DDoS protection solution. The study examines the potential return on investment (ROI) organizations may realize by deploying Threat Protection and includes insights from our customers. Here’s what our customers have to say about how Threat Protection helps safeguard their business.
1. Innovative Layer 7 Protection
Layer 7, known as the application layer, is the topmost layer that manages communication between applications and facilitates services such as email, file transfers, and web browsing. This layer is also a common target for sophisticated cyber threats, making robust Layer 7 protection essential for safeguarding critical applications. This is where Threat Protection stands out — our customers value Threat Protection's innovative use of machine learning to bolster Layer 7 defense. Threat Protection's all-in-one, layered security approach means that the layers communicate with each other and what is found in Layer 7 can also be shared with Layer 3. This innovation ensures that even the most sophisticated threats are identified and mitigated effectively, providing robust security for critical applications.
“I was interested in Threat Protection because they were doing some interesting things in relation to machine learning and disrupting how the layer 7 protection was being done.”

2. Rapid Mitigation of Threats
When mitigating threats, time is of the essence to minimize the impact on revenue, customers, and beyond. In fact, the financial impact of downtime caused by DDoS attacks can be devastating. On average, the cost of downtime per minute is $6,130.¹ Our Threat Protection solution significantly reduces the time it takes to mitigate low-level threats, from minutes to seconds. This rapid response minimizes downtime, ensuring that both customers and employees experience seamless and uninterrupted service.
"With online protection, most low-level threats or attacks are mitigated in seconds. Before [using] Threat Protection, it was, like, 5 to 10 minutes. Across customers and employees, that downtime adds up.”
Founder and Engineer, Cloud Services
3. Zero Successful Attacks Post-Deployment
Our customers have seen remarkable results with Threat Protection, experiencing zero successful attacks post-deployment. This level of security not only protects their data but also provides significant financial benefits by preventing costly breaches and maintaining business continuity.
“After deploying Threat Protection, we have experienced zero successful attacks of any kind. We hear attackers knocking on the firewall, but no one enters. That’s very meaningful to us in a financial way.”
