Travel

Online credit card fraud is the number one risk factor that afflicts the airline industry today. To address this serious concern, airlines either hire additional staff in order to increase their capability to manually review orders or deploy fraud detection and monitoring system. Hiring additional staff suffers from the difficulties of costs and scalability while deploying  a "one size fits all“ detection system often becomes obsolete in a few months or just a few days. Fraudsters are quite ingenious in finding ways to bypass automated detection systems. What works today will not necessarily work tomorrow.
