CyberSource Announces Fast Track Payment Security Review

On-site review to elevate merchant payment security, accelerate PCI compliance

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - September 26, 2006 - CyberSource Corporation (NASDAQ: CYBS), a leading provider of electronic payment and risk management solutions, today announced Fast Track Payment Security Review, a one week, on-site review covering 75 aspects of a merchant’s payment security environment. The process culminates in a detailed report of expert recommendations to optimize payment security and speed compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) guidelines.

“Payment data breaches continue to have serious impacts,” said David Glaser, CyberSource vice-president, global professional services, “negatively affecting both the brand and the financial stability of the merchant. We believe the vast majority of these breaches are preventable if appropriate systems and procedures are put in place. The Fast Track Payment Security Review is designed to identify areas where merchants can take specific action to prevent issues from emerging in the future, and to identify practices to help merchants increase efficiency and profitability. This is about achieving an overall performance boost for merchant operations.”

Fast Track basics

The engagement begins with an on-site review of the merchant’s environment and current security practices. The review includes meetings between a CyberSource professional services payment security expert and the merchant’s key staff (Chief Security Officer, corporate counsel, IT, finance, operations and human resources). Over 75 aspects of the merchant environment will be studied and evaluated. The resulting report documents the merchant’s payment security status and details the required next steps. It recommends best practice approaches for PCI compliance, including the most recently released PCI data Security Standard v1.1, for further hardening of payment security processes, and for streamlining of security management. All of this is aimed at strengthening merchants’ payment security and return on their security investment.

Fast Track scope of review

Fast Track reviews sales channel and payment data flows, including system and human touch points. It examines storage systems and policies, human processes and procedures, network and system security, payment application security, vendor relationships, and security merchandising. All findings and recommendations are published in a detailed report.
