LexisNexis Risk Solutions has forged a strategic alliance with mobile application security firm Promon to bolster fraud prevention in mobile apps. The partnership will combine LexisNexis’ ThreatMetrix digital identity, device, and behavioral intelligence with in-app protection and telemetry from Promon’s Promon Shield and Promon Insight, respectively.
“Fraud prevention is increasingly dependent on understanding the full context of a digital interaction,” LexisNexis Risk Solutions Chief Commercial Officer Grayson Clarke explained. “Promon’s app protection capabilities complement the insights delivered through our LexisNexis Risk Intelligence Network, helping customers strengthen the signals they rely on to better detect fraud across the mobile environment.”
Defending mobile apps from fraud comes with a range of challenges. Using techniques such as malware, overlay manipulation, device tampering, reverse engineering, and automated abuse to bypass controls, fraud attacks are increasingly targeting the mobile app itself. This means that fighting fraud requires not just knowing who a user is, but also whether the environment the user is operating in can be trusted.
In response, combining access to in-app protection and telemetry provided by Promon Shield and Promon Insight with identity, device, and transactional risk intelligence from LexisNexis enhances the integrity of the app and strengthens fraud detection quality. These capabilities are orchestrated by the LexisNexis Dynamic Decision Platform, which enables companies to combine app-level protection and identity intelligence to provide better, real-time decisions throughout the mobile customer’s journey.
“Promon has always believed that strong mobile security is a critical foundation for digital trust,” Promon Chief Executive Officer Daniel Kollberg said. “As fraud increasingly targets the mobile app and device environment, organizations need clearer insight into whether each session can be trusted. We are bringing Promon Shield, mobile risk detection, behavioral insights, and tamper-resistant telemetry into one of the world’s leading fraud intelligence platforms, helping organizations protect customers, reduce fraud losses, and deliver safer mobile experiences.”
Together, Promon and LexisNexis Risk Solutions assess risk and protect applications across billions of installations and digital identities around the world. By providing a more comprehensive view of mobile fraud risk, bolstering both the application layer and the signals used for fraud detection, Promon and LexisNexis Risk Solutions are enabling organizations to reduce the number of blind spots in app environments.
Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Oslo, Norway, Promon provides runtime intelligence for apps, embedding protection into compiled apps in seconds with no source code changes and no SDK. Promon’s technology sits inside running apps, detecting threats, transforming trusted telemetry into informed decisions, and executing responses before attacks reach users. Promon has 500+ enterprise clients around the world and protects more than 13 billion transactions a month.
Headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, and founded in 2000, LexisNexis Risk Solutions made its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2025. At the conference, the company demonstrated its AI-powered identity verification and fraud detection solution, IDVerse. The technology authenticates documents and provides biometric verification to defend customers against deepfakes and forged documents. LexisNexis Risk Solutions acquired IDVerse in February 2025.
