AppThis Partners With Forensiq to Prevent Mobile Ad Fraud

DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Dec 10, 2015) - AppThis, an international mobile ad tech company focused on the global apps ecosystem, announced today that it has partnered with Forensiq to help combat fraudulent inventory. The partnership integrates Forensiq's fraud detection technology within the AppThis mobile platform, enabling identification and comprehensive fraud blocking capabilities.

The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) announced this week that malvertising, including ad fraud and malware-driven ad blocking, costs advertisers $8.2B annually. Mobile advertising, by far the fastest-growing interactive segment, has seen new and innovative technologies designed to protect advertisers, publishers, and consumers, with Forensiq's technology among the most respected. With its integration, AppThis has the ability to increase the quality and transparency of impressions by leveraging Forensiq's real-time intelligence to filter and report on traffic. Through Forensiq's Prebid API, AppThis can now block fraudulent behavior based on a fraud score response, which is provided in less than 10ms. Tracking these threats in real-time is key to building a sustainable app ecosystem where waste is minimized for all stakeholders.

"From the outset of our platform AppThis has made it the single biggest priority to drive the highest quality clicks for our developers and demand partners. AppThis strives to set the bar globally as not only the leader in App discovery and user acquisition but equally in preventing fraudulent and low value installs. With today's announcement of our partnership with Forensiq we are confident in maintaining and growing our leadership," said AppThis co-founder and CEO Jim Mansfield.

"We are proud of our partnership with AppThis and pleased that they have chosen Forensiq to provide a comprehensive layer of defense on behalf of their clients," said David Sendroff, Founder & CEO of Forensiq.
