  • Detecting the latest threats to mobile payments;
  • The role of biometrics in authentication;
  • Tying device information to the customer to help eliminate payment fraud.

Lynch is chief strategy officer at InAuth, where he is responsible for leading new products strategy along with developing domestic and international partnerships.
