Unique findings in the report include:
In announcing the release of Singular's fraud study, Singular CEO and co-founder Gadi Eliashiv said: "Amid all the noise in the analytics ecosystem that data science, machine learning and performance optimization can defeat fraud, the mobile industry still suffers from persistently high fraud costs each year as the majority of marketers fail to implement active fraud prevention in their mobile marketing systems." "The Singular Faud Index focuses on the marketers and the media providers that are fighting back by highlighting the prevention methods blocking the most fraud as well as the media providers which are the most resilient to fraudulent traffic," Eliashiv said. "Marketers have long wondered where their ad dollars are the safest — and we're excited to finally provide the answer." In conjunction with its fraud study, Singular announced the release of an enhanced version of its Fraud Prevention Suite, with updates to its built-in heuristics, fraud analytics tools and adaptive rules engine. Singular's Fraud Prevention Suite utilizes all known prevention methods to ensure maximum protection against existing fraud threats as well as unknown threats to come. The new features analyze countless fraud signals at the most granular levels to identify illegitimate traffic, while Singular's fraud prevention engine automatically applies rules at the time of attribution to stop fraud in its tracks, keeping sources clean and media budgets focused on quality users. In regards to Singular's Fraud Prevention Suite, Eliashiv said: "Fraud is still a major problem for mobile marketers — and part of the blame lies with the analytics industry. Third-party analytics providers treat fraud prevention as a luxury, offering it to marketers as a 'premium' add-on rather than a free feature embedded in the platform. Equally problematic is the complexity of existing fraud offerings — for instance, attribution platforms that place the burden on marketers to run their own statistical analysis to detect fraud." "Singular is rapidly changing this paradigm with fraud prevention that is effective out of the box and free of charge for customers. Our enhanced Fraud Prevention Suite streamlines statistical fraud analysis for marketers, equipping them with the most comprehensive set of built-in heuristics to detect and destroy increasingly sophisticated forms of fraud with unprecedented precision."
