DoubleVerify partners with MoPub to detect fraud

DoubleVerify this week announced a partnership with MoPub, where DoubleVerify will provide fraud detection and reporting for mobile app campaigns across MoPub’s exchange. The fraud detection enables MoPub to refine the quality of its mobile ad inventory.

“DV’s partnership with MoPub reflects our commitment to provide consistent, comprehensive quality coverage for global brand advertisers,” said Matt McLaughlin, COO at DoubleVerify. “With ad spend increasingly concentrated in mobile, it’s imperative that brands have clarity into the quality of mobile app inventory. We are proud of our partnership with MoPub, which expands the footprint of our fraud prevention capabilities and further distinguishes DV as the leader for mobile app verification.”

DoubleVerify identifies and screens in-app fraud, including background ad activity, hidden ads, app misrepresentation (spoofing) and measurement manipulation. In March 2017, DV received Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation for its technology to detect and block sophisticated invalid traffic (SIVT) for mobile app video and display advertising.

“Traffic quality is a top priority for MoPub and our clients, since invalid traffic (IVT) is an industry-wide concern,” said Boris Logvinskiy, MoPub’s Head of Product. “Partnerships are crucial to the effort.  We believe that MRC-accredited vendors like DoubleVerify offer the expertise, technology, data integrity and service needed to help us maintain a clean exchange for the trillions of ad requests we facilitate.”
