The Media Trust & AdMeld Unveil a New Model of Malware Protection for Premium Publishers

NEW YORK, July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The Media Trust (www.themediatrust.com) today announced a partnership with AdMeld (www.admeld.com), the technology platform that helps premium publishers sell ad inventory smarter and safer. The integration puts The Media Trust's powerful malware detection engine to work across billions of AdMeld-optimized impressions each month.  The Media Trust uses proprietary technology to proactively identify malware threats and alert AdMeld to the source—before the tags can be launched and damage done.

"Over the past six months, malvertisers have grown increasingly sophisticated in their methods," said Chris Olson, CEO, The Media Trust. "Instead of mounting network-specific attacks they have begun to target multiple demand sources simultaneously, employing the same tactics that agencies and demand side platforms use to achieve their own reach and targeting goals. This shift requires a fresh approach to the problem, and The Media Trust's global infrastructure, combined with AdMeld's broad view of demand-side flow and supply-side inventory provides a unique capability to combat this growing threat."

"Today we're announcing a new standard in malware protection for our customers and the industry as a whole," said Michael Barrett, CEO, AdMeld. "With hundreds of publishers and demand sources transacting on our platform, maintaining a safe environment requires the technology to seek out a few, increasingly-sophisticated needles in a large, ever-changing haystack. This is what The Media Trust does best, and we're proud to partner with them on this."
