Raw data from external organizations, security vendors, government agencies and threat feeds is pulled into VTIP, where IOCs are gathered, filtered and prioritized using VTI's proprietary risk score and Time-to-Live logic.
Visa Threat Intelligence (VTI) is a Visa Protect solution that provides cyber threat intelligence tailored to the financial sector, and rigorously validated within Visa. It is designed to help cybersecurity and fraud teams identify, prioritize, and analyze threats relevant to financial risk.

Financial-sector cyber-solutions, delivered where your teams work.
Prioritize risk with proprietary severity scoring and Time-to-Live logic that surfaces relevant indicators of compromise (IOCs).
Where insights from the threat landscape turn into coordinated, cross-team action.
VTIP helps track threat actors and campaigns over time by correlating new indicators to known activity, tactics and targeting patterns, helping teams understand relevance and severity.
Intelligence can be delivered into downstream systems such as Microsoft Sentinel, SIEM/SOAR platforms, case management tools and fraud systems like Visa Risk Manager, helping teams track IOCs, investigate alerts and take action.

How do clients consume the Visa Threat Intelligence?
Flexible consumption is available in the following ways:
- VTIP user interface (single pane of glass)
- APIs (supported VTIP APIs and integration endpoints)
- Email reports
- Integration into downstream security tools such as Microsoft Sentinel and other security information and event managers
Does VTIP replace existing intelligence providers?
The VTIP can complement or consolidate existing providers. Clients may:
- Use the VTIP as a primary intelligence source, or
- Bring their own third‑party feeds into the VTIP to reduce noise and centralize analysis
Many clients already use multiple intelligence feeds; the VTIP helps them prioritize which signals actually matter.
Who is the VTI designed for?
The VTI is designed for FIs and financial‑ecosystem participants, including banks, issuers, acquirers, fintechs and large merchants, as well as their cybersecurity teams. The primary users are Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), security leaders, threat researchers, security operations center (SOC) analysts and fraud analysts who need financially relevant, actionable intelligence.
What customer problem does the VTIP solve?
Clients face high volumes of fragmented and uncorrelated threat data across multiple vendors, making it difficult to prioritize real threats that matter to their business. The VTIP is designed to help reduce noise by correlating cyber and fraud intelligence, scoring relevance and translating intelligence into action before threats manifest as financial fraud.
Does the VTIP require clients to provide transaction or payment data?
No. The VTIP intelligence is derived from Visa‑curated and external threat sources. The VTIP does not require customers to provide transaction or payment card data. Depending on the subscribed intelligence service, customers may provide limited identifiers (e.g., domains or email domains) solely for monitoring at the customer’s request.
