    Digital Ad Fraud -- Light at the End of the Tunnel

    Digital ad fraud has plagued digital advertising for the last decade, siphoning billions of dollars into the pockets of criminals. Now, with better and more complete analytics, advertisers are able to reduce their reliance on legacy fraud verification that has caught only 1% of the fraud for years. Advertisers are taking more control of their own digital marketing budgets, reducing costs and waste and verifying that their ads were delivered to the right sites and apps. Dr. Augustine Fou, independent ad fraud researcher and creator of FouAnalytics, shares examples and observations from his work over the last decade fighting ad fraud. Working with partners like fraud0, he discusses why he is optimistic that progress is finally being made in the war against ad fraud and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
