Intel Capital today announced a $10 million investment in iovation, which provides online security and fraud protection services. This investment is part of a $15 million investment round led by Intel Capital. The funds will be used to accelerate the development and delivery of next-generation fraud and abuse management solutions, broaden the company’s intellectual property portfolio and propel the evolution of online trust.
