Requirements for Testing

Before you can test, you must contact customer support to activate the credit card services and configure your account for testing. You must also contact your processor to set up your processor account.

When building your connection to the

Cybersource

payment gateway, ensure that you have implemented controls to prevent card testing or card enumeration attacks on your platform. For more information, see the Best Practices Guide. If we detect suspicious transaction activity associated with your merchant ID, including a card testing or card enumeration attack,

Cybersource

reserves the right to enable fraud management tools on your behalf in order to mitigate the attack. The fraud team might also implement internal controls to mitigate attack activity. These controls will block traffic that is perceived as fraudulent. Additionally, if you are using one of our fraud tools and experience a significant attack, our internal team might modify or add rules to your configuration to help prevent the attack and minimize the threat to our infrastructure. However, any actions taken by

Cybersource

would not replace the need for you to follow industry standard best practices to protect your systems, servers, and platforms.
