Configuring the RiskMinder Predictive Model

Note: The RiskMinder Predictive Model is an optional component. If you are interested in using a predictive model, contact your Account Manager and initiate a statement of work.

RiskMinder offers an advanced fraud modeling capability. Based on the historical data, this modelling capability can be built and created in RiskMinder. By using the available transaction data and system data, the model generates a score that describes the extent to which the model suspects a transaction’s genuineness. This score typically ranges from 0 through 100, where the higher the number, the greater the possibility of fraud. RiskMinder can be configured to send different responses to your calling application based on this model score.

The model score is available as a part of the system parameters (as Score) while configuring out-of-the-box rules. This score can be used in conjunction with other data elements to arrive at a risk advice.

You can configure the URL and timeout parameters for the RiskMinder Predictive Model using Administration Console.

To configure the RiskMinder Predictive Model:

  1. Ensure that you are logged in as a GA.
  2. Activate the Services and Server Configurations tab.
  3. Activate the RiskFort tab.
  4. Under the Model Configuration section on the side-bar menu, click the Model Configuration link.

    The Model Configuration page appears.

  5. In the Proposed Value column, specify the parameters as described in the following table.

Parameter
