Challenge

The video provider scans an average of 8 billion requests each month. After partnering with HUMAN, the provider successfully identified and eliminated the PARETO botnet, which was abusing their  platform - among others - to infect nearly one million mobile devices.  PARETO used these infected devices to create fraudulent ad views on smart TVs and other devices - spoofing nearly 6,000 CTV apps and accounting for an average of 650 million ad requests every day, while using sophisticated techniques to hide its identity across the ecosystem.

 
Combining the mitigation of Ad Fraud Defense with a dedicated approach to implementing HUMAN’s guidance to prevent the bot network from operating across their platform, including adopting all industry anti-fraud standards across their platform and installing a dedicated quality leader. The result was a marketplace better prepared to protect clients from known and novel sophisticated fraud attacks.

This scale is needed to protect the provider’s platform, which handles an average of 5 trillion data points and 250 billion monthly auctions. HUMAN’s unmatched scale and experience power the most accurate protection from sophisticated bots.
