HUMAN-Confiant-Logo

 

Reactive

Confiant relies on blocklists and creative wrapping, and thus needs to be retrofitted every time a new threat is identified. 

Bulky List Load

Confiant relies on blocklists, which grow as threats are added, causing latency due to all the checks needed to load.

Limited Exposure

Confiant’s visibility is significantly smaller. Their visibility into novel threats is significantly limited.

Limited Formats

Confiant uses creative wrapping, meaning it is limited to protecting display and native creative formats.

Block and Replace

Confiant blocks the ad and then requests the exchange to refill the unit with a new ad. This leaves publishers and platforms potentially on the hook for lost revenue.
