Block
For Publishers

Only solution that blocks malicious activity after the ad has rendered on page, allowing the ad impression to fire and protecting your site without sacrificing revenue.

 

On-page script scans all ad units, including video, to identify potentially malicious behavior within the creative and landing pages.

Any detected malicious activity within the ad is prevented, protecting site visitors from nefarious behavior while still showing the ads themselves. 

For Platforms


Winning creatives are delivered from the platform following the programmatic bidding process. 

HUMAN protection script is deployed on a sampled basis, wrapping the creative and monitoring for malicious activity in real time.

Platforms use intelligence from HUMAN to stop malicious ad creative from being served.

Seeing cleanAD in
action for yourself is believing.

HUMAN-Logo-White

Unique Detection Efficacy 

HUMAN’s visibility advantage, with more than 3 billion devices observed monthly, puts you in a unique position to win against attackers.

Industry-leading

HUMAN provides attack type details and executive-level metrics around operational efficiency, protected revenue, and user experience impact.

Modern Interface

HUMAN provides rich analytics through the Human portal with pre-built and customizable dashboards.

Easy

Custom rules and response actions can be defined straight from the console, without raising a change request or waiting for a response from support.

Friction-free

Our user verification tool, Human Challenge, is the most user-friendly CAPTCHA on the market.  It appears as a simple button that users press and hold, capturing useful data behind-the-scenes to weed out bad bots and gather feedback to improve future detections.

Broad

HUMAN offers a wide range of integration options including SDKs, CDNs, web servers and Cloud platforms

Human Security-Key Integrations-Akamai

 

Limited Efficacy

Many Akamai customers supplement their Akamai protection with HUMAN, relying on us to provide better protection from bots with fewer false positives.

Limited Detail

Akamai reports do not provide information on attack types.

Aged Interface

The Akamai management interface provides list-based detail and appears old-fashioned.

Support Required

Akamai needs professional services, billed separately, for each activation, analysis, or change.

No CAPTCHA Option

Akamai doesn’t provide a CAPTCHA. Many customers instead resort to using reCAPTCHA, which is up to 6x slower than Human Challenge and has a 3-5x higher abandonment rate. Furthermore, because reCAPTCHA is from a third party, it provides no feedback loop.

Limited

Akamai has fewer deployment options. This means less flexibility in designing your architecture and may require additional work to fully integrate.
