British cybersecurity firm’s studies and statement used by Subcommittee on Digital Commerce to
form official memorandum for its hearing on the digital advertising ecosystem
Washington, D.C. June 14, 2018, The United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Digital
Commerce and Consumer Protection has used Oxford BioChronometrics' study and statement on ad
fraud to create its official memorandum on ad fraud. Issued on June 12, the memorandum entitled
“Understanding the Digital Advertising Ecosystem” lays out the current state of ad fraud and adopts the
position of the company that ad fraud is a much larger issue than is often reported.
“We testified that tackling the issue of ad fraud also means tackling fake news, foreign and domestic bot
networks, the bulk selling and buying of followers, likes, shares and so on,” CEO David Scheckel
reported. “Too often, people who discuss digital ad fraud treat the issue as if it were a margin of error in
their marketing budget. What it really is, is a multi-billion dollar cybersecurity threat that needs
comprehensive tools to beat.”
The House Subcommittee recognizes in its report that digital ad fraud “undermines trust in the current
online advertising ecosystem and contributes to significant economic harm for consumers and industry.”
It raises the question of whether the industry has sufficient options for the buying and selling of digital
advertising inventory, especially in light of the fact that two companies, Google and Facebook, dominate
the US market.
With technology suites commended by NATO as “transformational, state-of-the-art technology
solutions”, the company is in a position to help advertisers protect their budgets against this growing
threat. “We are grateful to see the House Subcommittee address the issue of digital ad fraud and bring
to light the growing problem it represents,” Scheckel stated. “We believe that awareness will foster
vigilance and lead advertisers away from standard methods that just don’t work, and towards more
innovative analytics solutions that will protect their bottom line.”
The company recently launched a private token pre-sale to support customer loyalty and expand its
cybersecurity coverage to the world of blockchain – the next domino in the line to be embattled by
fraud. For more information, see https://ico.oxford-biochron.com/
