HUMAN and Opera Ads Make Strategic Business Alliance to Boost CTV Advertising Security

HUMAN Security, Inc., a leader in cybersecurity dedicated to protecting businesses from bot attacks and digital fraud, has announced its collaboration with Opera Ads. This partnership will integrate HUMAN’s pre-bid detection and mitigation technology into Opera Ads, reinforcing the security and integrity of traffic within the Connected TV (CTV) marketplace. By adopting this solution, Opera Ads aims to safeguard its extensive omnichannel advertising platform, which spans over 35 industries, including e-commerce and gaming, while ensuring fraud prevention across its inventory.

The rise of CTV offers a significant opportunity for brands and streaming services to connect with an estimated 238.3 million U.S. consumers by 2025. However, this growth also necessitates a secure advertising ecosystem where brands must collaborate to detect and eliminate fraud swiftly.

“Opera Ads manages a diverse portfolio of inventory supported by stringent monitoring and verification,” said Marcio de Barros, Vice President of Adtech at Opera Ads. “With over 400 billion daily requests and the rapid expansion of the CTV market, our partnership with HUMAN will be vital in protecting users’ online experiences and preserving the integrity of the advertising ecosystem.”
