Reactive

Blocklists and creative wrapping leave you vulnerable, needing to be updated every time a new threat is identified.

Limited Formats

GeoEdge’s creative wrapping is limited to display and native creative formats, leaving you open to audio and video attacks.

Block and Replace

GeoEdge blocks the ad and then requests the exchange to refill the unit with a new ad, potentially leaving publishers and platforms on the hook for lost revenue.

Bulky List Load

Blocklists grow as threats are identified and added, increasing latency due to the checks needed to load.

Limited Exposure

GeoEdge’s network visibility is significantly smaller, with limited visibility into novel threats.
