Recorded Future is excited to announce its acquisition by Mastercard, one of the world’s most trusted and recognized companies, in a transaction valued at $2.65 billion. This acquisition represents a significant milestone in Recorded Future's journey, which began in 2007 with the development of the original patent for the Recorded Future Intelligence Platform.

Throughout the years, Recorded Future has partnered with leading venture firms such as Google Ventures and In-Q-Tel, and was acquired by Insight Partners in 2019 for $780 million. Now, with Mastercard, the company is entering the next phase of its growth, enhancing its threat intelligence strategy and expanding its global presence.

As the largest independent intelligence business worldwide, Recorded Future’s platform is relied upon by organizations of all sizes. From small businesses to Fortune 500 companies and national governments, Recorded Future’s intelligence capabilities are trusted to identify and prioritize threats, helping customers effectively mitigate risks.

The mission remains unchanged: Recorded Future will continue to operate as the same company but with the added advantage of Mastercard’s resources and capabilities. As an independent subsidiary of Mastercard, Recorded Future will utilize advanced AI tools and techniques to deliver threat intelligence on a global scale, empowering analysts and clients to better safeguard their organizations.
