Imagine your forgotten subdomain getting pwned because no one remembered it existed. Cloudflare's new Mastercard tie-up scans the wild web for those ghosts, then proxies them safe—potentially cutting ransomware odds by 5x.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- Cloudflare-Mastercard integration auto-discovers shadow IT and lets you proxy-fix risks directly from the dashboard.
- Proxied systems show dramatically better security hygiene: 53% fewer vulns, per 388k-org study.
- Breached orgs had glaring gaps; this could slash ransomware risk 5.3x by closing them proactively.
