The CyberSource system applies over 150 global validation tests, including a multi-merchant transaction history model, against inbound eCommerce bookings. Then, applying business rules set by the airline, the system automatically makes a decision to accept, reject or mark transactions for further review. As part of the performance monitoring service, CyberSource experts are helping Kingfisher Airlines design and configure its order screening strategies and processes. Following implementation, CyberSource fraud analysts will monitor business performance and work with Kingfisher Airlines to tune rules, systems, and processes to optimise results. Sourav Sinha, CIO at Kingfisher Airlines, commented, "With the threat of online fraud in our industry, we needed a reliable solution to not only help reduce fraud levels but also to minimize our reliance on manual review. We found CyberSource to have the most complete risk management solution for the airline industry."
