Venatus Media Eliminates Malicious Redirects and Streamlines Operations

Venatus Media experienced an onslaught of malicious redirect attacks, and their Ad Ops team was spending countless hours fighting malicious ads. Despite their attempts to go upstream and work with SSPs to fix issues, large-scale weekend attacks resulted in publishers actively removing Venatus tags from their systems. 

Venatus Media experimented with several of the major anti-malvertising tools on the market, but none resolved the issues. The company needed a holistic solution that would eliminate malvertising attacks, clear up time for their Ad Ops team, and help rebuild trust with publishers. 

• Full-Stop Protection: cleanAD uses technical analysis of each ad render to detect and block malvertisers from hijacking ad inventory with harmful redirects, malware, and heavy ads. 
• Preserve Publisher Revenue: cleanAD’s behavioral approach to catching bad ads lets malvertisements render on-page before being blocked. This means publishers still get paid for their ad impressions, raising cost without reward for malvertisers.
• Easy Integration and Maintenance: cleanAD swiftly integrated into Venatus’s existing stack with no maintenance needed from engineering. The behavior-based learning library continuously updates to offer automatic protection, without relying on traditional sandboxing and blocklist techniques.
• Unmatched Customer Service: The team at HUMAN works regularly with Ad Ops teams to provide regular monthly reporting along with important insights to help them improve operations.
