Oct. 21, 2010
ThreatMetrix, a fraud prevention solutions provider for CNP
merchants, announced recently it has secured $12.1 million in a third round of
financing. Silicon Valley venture capital firm Tenaya Capital, formerly Lehman
Brothers Ventures, led the round. "The multi-billion dollar IT security
industry continues to rapidly expand due to the growing wave of global
cybercrime," said Ben Boyer, managing director, Tenaya Capital. "The
principal highway for today's cybercriminals is the Internet where a fraudster
using a stolen or synthetic identity can easily compromise bank accounts,
Internet retailers, and members on social networking sites. ThreatMetrix's
solutions have translated into rapid customer and partner adoption in markets
around the world with their ThreatMetrix Fraud Network which is used by leading
financial services, e-commerce, travel, ticketing, Web 2.0 and payments
companies."
