In a world where cyber threats evolve faster than most organizations can respond, the ability to quantify and prioritize risk is a necessity. Despite increased investment in cybersecurity, breaches continue to rise in frequency and cost, leaving leaders asking: Where should we invest next? What’s our actual exposure? How do we communicate risk in business terms?
This is where Mastercard’s Cyber Quant comes into play. Cyber Quant is a powerful, automated platform that turns complex cybersecurity data into clear, actionable insights for decision-makers across the enterprise.
