We are using the product for 3D Secure authentication and fraud prevention
For CA Risk Analytics, we would like to have some statistics available, to do some counting on the number of transactions for example. Also, to have the ability not only for 3D Secure, but accross all online channels. Online banking and App. Because then you would have three online channels. You would have the same device data, so you can combine it. So then you would have an online banking platform, an app, and 3D Secure all from one supplier. This supplier would support all of our authentication methods across those three channels. That's our ultimate goal to have one supplier to support all three online channels.

Easy to configure and blocks bot attacks for web users
The solution is deployed on the F5 cloud. The solution's real-time analytics help you see what has been blocked. It helps to see whether the attack category was an automation attack or a fake browser. F5 Shape Security has a normal dashboard. We are doing F5 Shape Security migrations for 30 customers. F5 Shape Security uses Javascript. For a lot of competitors, the Javascript can be reverse-engineered by attackers to bypass the protection. F5 Shape Security has machine learning authentication of the Java script. If you had hacked it, the encryption would have been changed. It's really hard for attackers to reverse engineer the F5 Shape Security JavaScript. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I advise anyone that is looking for a payment security product to choose this solution."
"They are excellent."
"I think for us, the value that we get out of CA is their effective scheme diagnostics."
"Helped reduce 3-D Secure losses to one of the lowest in the industry while having minimal customer impact."
"I think stability-wise, we've not really had any issues in terms of stability."
"The CA solution is a world-class product and others should consider using this solution."
"We see a high value in that, with all the fraud rules that we built, we have a very good false positive ratio because of the big data that CA has."
"So it's pretty useful operation wise, and also in terms of some inquiries from us, if a customer is disputing they didn't receive an OTP password on their online transaction, and then they're disputing that it's not theirs, and it's unauthorized, but it was a successful transaction, I use this product to see the customer's previous IP addresses."
"F5 Shape Security's most valuable feature is performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of configuration."
 

Cons

"No solution is going to be 100% up, but in terms of what we've seen, we've been quite happy."
"Sometimes, there is a bit of language issue of understanding problems."
"Unifying operational changes around highlighting. If you highlight one item, it will highlight the one card that's affected across the board."
"This solution can improve around the challenge rates and the failures."
"The pricing construct can be very cumbersome."
"We are still unable to implement OTP through email using this solution."
"At the moment, getting into that rich data is quite an effort."
"I had wish it would be this one, this authentication for fingerprint and face would be promising."
"I want the solution's custom exclusion rules to be more granular."
"The tool's price is high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Utilize the transaction pricing model versus the active cards because the ability to monitor active cards hasn’t been good."
"The solution is moderately priced."
