RiskFront Lab announced a $3 million seed financing round backed by MANTIS Venture Capital, Sequoia Capital, Original Capital and Next Play Ventures. The company is led by CEO Tomas Brown and provides post-build runtime protection for Android and iOS applications.
RiskFront Lab helps mobile teams apply security controls after an app package is ready, giving organizations a way to strengthen release artifacts without requiring product engineers to rebuild core features around a security SDK. Its platform supports runtime defense policies for tampering, debugging, hooking, network abuse, compromised device state, screen capture controls and suspicious automation patterns.
The company also provides release evidence and operational routing for teams that need more than raw security alerts. Runtime events can be organized by app version, platform, policy action, device signal, severity, timestamp and reviewer owner. Those records are intended for AppSec review, support triage, fraud analysis, release approvals and customer-controlled audit workflows.
RiskFront Lab is focused on high-risk mobile sectors, including banking, payments, fintech, healthcare access, retail, marketplaces, media, subscription products, gaming and enterprise mobile apps. In these environments, a modified client, rooted device, instrumentation framework or certificate bypass attempt can affect account access, transactions, private screens, premium content or operational trust.
The seed funding will be used to deepen the company's Android and iOS protection capabilities, improve AI-assisted evidence drafting, and expand integrations with mobile build pipelines, ticketing systems, security monitoring tools and release handoff processes.
Brown said in a prepared statement, "The mobile build is no longer the finish line for security; teams need defenses that live on real devices, in production sessions, and inside release workflows."
The company's approach reflects a broader shift in application security. Enterprises are increasingly asking for controls that follow software into production, especially when the software runs on devices outside the company's direct control. RiskFront Lab's seed round positions the company to build for that need, with a product centered on protected builds, live runtime signals and evidence that business teams can act on.
