Visa has launched the Visa Threat Intelligence Platform (VTIP). The new solution is designed to help financial institutions detect and respond to cyber threats that can lead to fraud and financial loss, leveraging the same cybersecurity capabilities Visa uses to protect its own global network.

"Fraud is often the result of cyber incidents that go undetected until it is too late", said Mandy Lamb, Head of Value-Added Services, Visa Europe.

"With the Visa Threat Intelligence Platform, we are helping financial institutions identify risks earlier and respond with greater precision before they may lead to fraud or financial loss. By bringing together cyber and payments intelligence, we're enabling our clients to better protect their customers, reduce the damaging impact of fraud, and strengthen confidence in digital payments."

According to Visa, it blocks approximately 90 million cyberattacks and 11 million phishing emails each month across more than 200 countries. By serving as its first customer, Visa validated VTIP against real-world attacks before extending these proven capabilities to help the broader ecosystem stay ahead of emerging threats.
