Electronic signature and cloud authentication cybersecurity company OneSpan Inc. today announced a strategic investment in and partnership with ThreatFabric B.V., a Dutch provider of proactive fraud detection, mobile threat intelligence and malware defense solutions.

The partnership will allow OneSpan to expand its cyber fraud prevention capabilities for the financial services industry, which has experienced a significant surge of authorized push payment fraud in recent years. The company will incorporate mobile threat intelligence, malware risk detection and behavioral risk evaluation from ThreatFabric to deliver its customers an additional and proactive defense against evolving digital threats.

Founded in 2015, ThreatFabric specializes in mobile and online fraud detection and prevention, especially for financial institutions and digital banking services.

The company’s flagship Fraud Risk Suite offers a software development kit-based solution that integrates device risk, behavioral risk, identity risk and threat intelligence in real time. It can detect a wide range of fraud types, such as account takeover, device takeover, malware-assisted attacks, bots, social engineering scams and authorized push payment fraud.

ThreatFabric particularly focuses on mobile threat intelligence, continuously tracing, analyzing and attributing emerging mobile threats such as banking Trojans, remote access tools, spyware, keyloggers and dropper applications. It provides strategic, operational and tactical visibility into the mobile threat landscape, delivering actionable indicators so clients can anticipate and block attacks before they escalate.

The company uses layered risk scoring and signal fusion, with the ThreatFabric platform combining device-level insights with behavioral signals and external threat intelligence feeds. The signals are then fed into banks’ fraud engines or decisioning systems to enable automated, low-friction responses, either blocking suspicious activity, triggering further verification or flagging cases for review.

“Mobile devices are the dominant access point for consumer financial services, leading to the rise in device compromise, malware and cyberfraud,” said OneSpan Chief Executive Victor Limongelli. “Partnering with ThreatFabric enhances our capabilities and sets a new standard for protecting customers in a mobile-first world — keeping trust and security at the heart of digital banking.”

Though the amount OneSpan has invested in ThreatFabric was not disclosed, ThreatFabric has previously raised $12.6 million over two rounds, according to data from Tracxn. Previous investors in the company include Motive Partners Management, 14Peaks Capital Management, 10x Founders, Rabo Investments B.V. and ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
