HUMAN Security, Inc – the leader in protecting enterprises by disrupting bot attacks, client-side threats, and digital fraud and abuse – today announced that Opera Ads – will leverage HUMAN as a pre-bid detection and mitigation solution to ensure the security and integrity of its Connected TV (CTV) traffic.
The integration helps Opera Ads enhance the protection of its extensive omni-channel marketplace, which connects with a vast global audience across e-commerce, gaming, and over 35 other verticals, ensuring fraud prevention in its inventory.
CTV presents streaming services and brands with a massive opportunity to engage with 238.3 million U.S. consumers in 2025 through compelling content and advertising. Healthy CTV ecosystems, however, require a protected advertising supply chain in which brands work together to collectively ensure fraud is recognized, addressed, and eliminated as quickly as possible.
“Opera Ads’ extensive omni-channel marketplace manages a diverse inventory portfolio supported by rigorous monitoring and verification processes,” said Marcio de Barros, Vice President of Adtech at Opera Ads. “As Opera Ads handles over 400 billion requests daily and the CTV market continues to expand, this integration with HUMAN will play a crucial role in safeguarding users’ online experiences and maintaining the integrity of the broader advertising ecosystem.
HUMAN will provide fraud analytics and pre-bid detection services for Opera, particularly focusing on CTV. As the CTV market grows rapidly, robust and scalable security measures are essential, as CTV’s unique challenges – like limited on-device measurement and reliance on server communication – require advanced protection. HUMAN’s Ad Fraud Defense which examines more than 20 trillion interactions per week. offers the most accurate protection against sophisticated bot attacks.
