Gold Shield is an industry-first program promoting comprehensive best practices for safeguarding the user experience in digital advertising. Top AdTech and media publishing organizations recognize that they can optimize their revenue streams by protecting both inventory value and the end-user experience.
The problem is that everyone claims to do this. But they don’t—sometimes publishers/AdTech claim the benefits of these services that are contracted by another partner somewhere further up the chain. With malvertising doubling over the past 3 years, it’s a fatal assumption that your users receive this protection.
