Real-time malicious ad detection and blocking.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • Confiant published fresh 2026 research on SourTrade, ADINT, and blockchain skimming campaigns.
  • AdPushup's July 23, 2025 partnership and Colossus SSP's October 8, 2024 deal extend distribution.
  • Confiant's July 16, 2026 commentary aligns with tighter EU scam-ad rules and advertiser scrutiny.

What critics are saying

  • Google's July 23, 2026 verification changes commoditize parts of Confiant's core value.
  • Programmatic platforms can disintermediate Confiant with native controls, squeezing renewals by 2027.
  • If publishers stop paying after major scams shift to social platforms, Confiant's niche shrinks.

What makes Confiant unique

  • Confiant still specializes narrowly in malvertising, not broad adtech security, in 2026.
  • Its 2026 threat-intelligence feed tracks scam infrastructure, malware chains, and ad-tech abuse daily.
  • Confiant embeds deeply into Prebid Server and supply-side workflows, not just post-bid scanning.
