Infocredit Group and Mastercard Highlight the Next Generation of Cyber Resilience at the 6th Cyber Security Conference

Nicosia, Cyprus – 15 September 2026 – The conference brought together cybersecurity professionals, technology leaders, risk specialists and senior executives to discuss one of the most important challenges facing organisations today: how to move beyond compliance and traditional cybersecurity controls towards measurable, continuous cyber resilience.

Throughout the conference, the Infocredit Group and Mastercard teams engaged with organisations and cybersecurity professionals, discussing the evolving threat landscape, third-party and supply-chain exposure, cyber risk quantification and the need to continuously assess whether cybersecurity controls are effective against real-world threats.

A key focus was Mastercard's advanced cybersecurity portfolio, particularly RiskRecon, Cyber Quant and Cyber Front.

RiskRecon: Understanding Third-Party Cyber Exposure

As organisations become increasingly dependent on technology providers, cloud infrastructure, suppliers and outsourced services, managing cyber risk across the wider third-party ecosystem has become a critical business priority.

Mastercard RiskRecon enables organisations to gain continuous, objective visibility into externally observable cybersecurity risk, helping them assess their own environment as well as suppliers and critical third parties.

Discussions at the conference highlighted the importance of moving beyond traditional, periodic third-party assessments towards a continuous and data-driven approach to Third-Party Risk Management.

Cyber Quant: Bringing Financial Context to Cyber Risk

Another important area of discussion was the challenge of communicating cyber risk beyond technical teams. Boards and senior management increasingly need to understand not only where vulnerabilities exist, but also their potential business and financial impact.

Mastercard Cyber Quant helps organisations assess cyber risk and translate technical exposure into measurable financial terms, enabling management to better understand potential losses, prioritise remediation and make more informed cybersecurity investment decisions.

The approach helps shift the cybersecurity conversation from “How much are we spending on cybersecurity?” to “Where will our investment reduce cyber risk the most?”

Cyber Front: Putting Cyber Defences to the Test

The presence of cybersecurity technologies and controls does not automatically guarantee resilience. An organisation must also understand whether those controls will perform effectively when confronted with a real cyberattack.

Mastercard Cyber Front provides cyber threat simulation and security control validation capabilities, helping organisations test their defences against realistic attack scenarios, identify gaps and evaluate their detection and response capabilities.

By continuously testing and validating cybersecurity controls, organisations can identify weaknesses before they are exploited by attackers and focus resources on the areas where improvements can deliver the greatest impact.

Three Perspectives. One Cyber Resilience Strategy.

Together, they support a continuous cyber resilience lifecycle: Identify → Assess → Quantify → Prioritise → Test → Improve → Monitor.

This integrated approach reflects an important evolution in cybersecurity: moving from periodic compliance exercises towards continuous, intelligence-led cyber risk management.

• RiskRecon → Where are we and our third parties exposed?
• Cyber Quant → What could our cyber exposure cost us?
• Cyber Front → Will our cyber defences work when they are actually tested?

Connecting with Cybersecurity Leaders

The Infocredit Group and Mastercard exhibition stand provided an opportunity to meet directly with CISOs, CIOs, Risk Managers, Information Security professionals, Compliance Officers and business leaders and discuss the cyber challenges affecting their organisations.

The conversations reinforced the growing need for organisations to have a clearer and more measurable understanding of their cybersecurity posture — particularly as digital ecosystems and third-party dependencies continue to expand.

The future of cybersecurity is not simply about being compliant. It is about being resilient.
