Configuring Channels and Accounts Associations

CA Risk Authentication supports risk evaluation requests coming from multiple channels. CA Risk Authentication evaluates transactions from different channels and generates a risk score based on several factors. For example, a home banking login from USA and a 3D Secure transaction done from India in quick succession would indicate possible fraud. The following table describes the channels that are available out-of-the-box in CA Risk Authentication.

To assign channels and configure the account type for each channel:

Note: Configuring channels is expected to be a one-time configuration. If you want to change these settings in a production environment, contact CA Support to understand the implications. You can add a channel to your existing deployment, but removing support for a channel or account type and changing the default channel or default account type requires careful consideration.
