Versatility in rule variables allows for customization and optimization.
All 3DS systems assess the risks of all transactions, including closed cards. This drives additional workload for operations. Having said that, CA’s partnership with several authorization providers, such as TSYS, will help us to eradicate this issue. These 3DS secure systems act independently from a bank’s man authorisation system ( Falcon, TSYS, SAS Raptor etc), and as a result they end up in position where they end up attempting to authenticate transactions that are closed card as they have no visibility of these type of statuses. This essentially means that these fraud system generate alerts on closed card , wasting operational resource. This is the same for all systems in this space inc RSA. Having said that there have been recent developments in this space that have allowed authorisation platform to work together with the 3DS system via an API. Meaning that the 3DS system can pass the data to the Authorisation system who in turn will make the decision, instead of the decision being made via a 3DS platform. One example of this is the TSYS/CA relationship.

Enables to identify and analyze real-time incidents and mitigate risks
The setup is not complex. It is pretty standard. I rate the ease of setup a nine out of ten. The deployment time depends on the applications and environment into which we integrate it. The product provides a lot of API documentation. The product is cloud-based. One or two people are enough to deploy the solution. We need some maintenance when new versions or patches need to be upgraded. It requires minimal maintenance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"For us, it enables the bank or the issuer to offer their customers protection on their online transactions."
"In terms of the fraud that we see on the card site, card not present fraud, the person gives contribution to what the total fraud has increased substantially."
"The service works as described, the Admin console is very good along with customer service, and"
"I think for us, the value that we get out of CA is their effective scheme diagnostics."
"I use this product to extract cases from there and then send it to Ops to review and analyze."
"The most valuable feature the solution has is that it is able to do a fairly accurate fraud assessment of a credit card transaction based on a variety of parameters configured by the merchant."
"The user interface, the portal, is very helpful in describing what attributes of concern are associated with the device."
"The most valuable thing is about the IP. They have a database of malicious IP addresses against which they check. They have a huge database for routed devices and the devices that have been used in the past to commit fraud. They have extensive historical records of all of that information, and that's probably the most valuable thing about ThreatMetrix. Over the years, they have been collecting and persisting globally across all the banking and financial services. They have been storing all this information. It is this stored information that I and my team find valuable; it is not so much their technology. If you are running it on a simulator and trying to maliciously clone and copy IP addresses and stuff like that, they have a bunch of technologies, like routes section and all the other stuff. It is just that they have something that no one else can deal with, that is, massive amounts of big data about the malicious IP addresses, malicious device fingerprinting, the fingerprinting router devices, and the fingerprints. You can query against this stored information to find out whether your app is in a good, nice environment. If yes, you get a green light. The last time I checked, there were about 400 or 500 features that they can stack against, which is pretty extensive. They give you a score against all those features for every application that you installed on it. It is pretty good in that sense."
"It is a stable solution."
"Accessible custom rules with a monthly update on performance."
"There is excellent documentation available."
"The solution can be easily integrated with applications."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"I had wish it would be this one, this authentication for fingerprint and face would be promising."
"Probably having more flexibility and working on usability and how we use the solution."
"I think improvements for us, it's making it simple enough that anybody can understand how it works."
"The service is improving with the implementation of 3D Secure 2.0."
"This solution can improve around the challenge rates and the failures."
"The tool is very expensive."
"One limitation is it only maintains six months' worth of data. It would be nice if it went back even further to help us really identify and flush out patterns that go on longer."
"We encountered a few issues with API calls to the solution."
"Could be more intuitive and user friendly."
"The interface does look a bit outdated."
"SDK is probably where the biggest issue is. The SDK configuration is a bit lacking. If you are integrating it into your workflow, it is very cumbersome and very difficult to integrate. You have to understand and be an expert in low-level mobile applications to integrate this stuff. Integration should be easy based on what they are providing, but unfortunately, it is not. It is very difficult. My work has been trying to simplify the integration process because integrations bring a lot of value. Most companies don't see their value because it is such a difficult process. For integration, you have to get it right as well, but it is very difficult to get it right because they don't help you in tuning your future parameters. Because of this, it is very difficult to tune your future parameters and your risk score. If you are Uber, your risk score will be very different from a banking client that is pushing funds. These two things need to be improved for me. The rest is pretty good."
"We are only using one feature. We haven't found the other features to be very good or very powerful."
"It would be useful if they could offer real-time processing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Utilize the transaction pricing model versus the active cards because the ability to monitor active cards hasn’t been good."
"I am not aware of the price. I have always come in after it has been negotiated. The clients do get a return on their investment. It mitigated a massive DDoS, and it definitely detects fraudulent activities on banking platforms. They have definitely got their ROI back because there is continued investment in ThreatMetrix over time."
