Introduction
What are bad ads? The security experts at GeoEdge group bad ads into three main categories:
Ads that cause security issues (i.e., malvertising)
Ads that contain bad content (e.g., ads that are off brand, offensive and/or unwanted)
The dangers of malware are as old as computers themselves, but the concept of malvertising is a new one to businesses and consumers alike. While the term malware can mean malicious code of any sort delivered by any means, “malvertising” refers to the use of digital advertisements – including creative, tags and landing pages – specifically to distribute malware, often for financial gain. Malvertising is now a problem at scale.
App publishers all know that bad ads can be a problem, but what is the scale of this issue and what can be done concretely to fight bad ads?
This joint eBook from InMobi and GeoEdge will help mobile-first publishers and app developers understand the problem, know why it’s an issue and have concrete steps to take to prevent bad ads from showing up in app or on a webpage.
