A single connection to CyberSource links Kingfisher Airlines to the fraud
portal. 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."

Dr Akif Khan, head of client and technical services at CyberSource Ltd., said,
"Our experience in the airline industry generally and the Indian market
specifically positions us to recommend appropriate risk screening strategies
and processes to Kingfisher Airlines. By using our robust solution, the
airline's customers can benefit from a faster, more efficient online booking
service."
