Electronic payment services provider CyberSource Corporation has entered a partnership with device identification services company ThreatMetrix.
 

According to the deal, ThreatMetrix is set to provide device identification capabilities to customers using the CyberSource Decision Manager fraud portal. The portal encapsulates fraud detection tests and services, a business rule editor, a case management system as well as analytics.

The CyberSource Decision Manager system profiles an inbound order using the ThreatMetrix fingerprinting technology as well as a series of validation tests. The system classifies on the spot the order for fulfillment, rejection or review, according to the business rules provided by the merchant.

US-based ThreatMetrix analyzes the device used in online transactions so that companies can determine whether the users are online impostors or customers.
