In its first month post-acquisition by Mastercard, Recorded Future’s Autonomous Threat Operations users increased continuous threat hunts across diverse environments without raising analyst workload. Mastercard also joined the Solana Developer Platform launch to enable stablecoin settlement on its network alongside Western Union and Worldpay.

1. Rapid Adoption of ATO Enhances Cybersecurity

Recorded Future’s Autonomous Threat Operations, acquired by Mastercard in 2024, saw exponential user growth in its first month of general availability as customers expanded their threat-hunting programs across heterogeneous networks. ATO translates real-time threat intelligence into automated hunting hypotheses and detection logic, enabling continuous threat hunts without adding to analyst workload.

2. Mastercard Joins Solana Platform for Blockchain Settlement

At launch of Solana Developer Platform, Mastercard joined Western Union and Worldpay to build use cases on the Solana blockchain. Mastercard is deploying the platform for stablecoin settlement, integrating blockchain’s speed with its global network infrastructure, while Western Union explores cross-border transfers and Worldpay applies it to merchant payments.
