Webjet offers tickets and services for flights, car rentals, hotels and travel insurance. "We currently operate in Australia, New Zealand and have just opened in the USA," added Noon. "As we expand, each country introduces its own particular fraud challenges, and we want to get the necessary infrastructure in place well ahead of any expansion."

Tim Sparrow, Head of Business Development, Asia at CyberSource, said, "Webjet needed an effective fraud strategy that could scale to meet its growth targets. We are glad to be part of Webjet's eCommerce environment and look forward to supporting the growth of their online business.
