Andrew Naumann is Director of Enterprise Fraud Solutions at CyberSource.

Founded in 1994, CyberSource began developing online payment and fraud detection technology long before the eCommerce industry took off. In fact, the company pioneered online fraud screening as well as the concept of an internet commerce suite — this allowed companies to outsource eCommerce transaction services as and when required, precluding the need to build and maintain costly and complex infrastructures.

Today, through continued innovation and investment, CyberSource now offers a comprehensive set of high performance payment management solutions for multiple sales channels, including the web and call centres. With a customer list that includes lastminute.com, British Airways and Nike, the company enables its merchants to sell online in over 190 markets worldwide, helping them to protect, optimise and grow their operations.

In 2010 CyberSource Corporation was acquired by, and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of, Visa Inc.
