Having looked at device security from the buying side, his insights will be tremendously beneficial and relevant to the continuing rapid growth of our business," said Lisa Stanton, CEO of InAuth.

InAuth has quickly emerged as the leader for mobile application and browser fraud detection, enhanced authentication, and security.

To protect their users, application publishers embed InAuth’s technology into their mobile apps. InAuth then secures both application data and financial transactions from malicious actors, preventing fraud and data loss. For the Browser, InAuth offers best-in-class accuracy and longevity of device recognition as well as data collection for risking.

InAuth continues to build momentum in the market

Lynch joins InAuth as the company continues to gain significant momentum in the market and on the heels of securing a Series A investment in early 2015 from Bain Capital Ventures. That investment followed a year of record growth, where the company added four of the five largest US banks as customers.

InAuth has offices in Los Angeles, Boston, and London, and is currently embedded in millions of device applications found around the globe.
