30,000 bots blocked every day. And counting.

We’re Veracity. The bot defence experts.

During the 2010s, bot activity began the transition from harmless, helpful automation to one of the most aggressive, intelligent threats facing businesses today. Founded in 2016, Veracity was formed with one intention: to fight the rise of malicious bot activity. 

To combat an ever-evolving threat, you need technology that’s prepared for the unknowns just as much as the known predators. Our patented, AI-powered bot detection technology does just that.

Bots can take a lot from your business. Our expertise makes sure that they won’t.

Our Story

We began as a digital marketing agency, and quickly learned that bots were decimating PPC budgets and producing bad analytics data. In 2016, with no solution in sight, we decided to solve the problem ourselves, and Veracity Ad Fraud Prevention was born.

Once it became clear that our patented, AI-powered bot detection could do even more for businesses, we developed Web Threat Protection to give businesses everything we wished we’d had. As a collective of data science, marketing, and AI experts, our investment in this is more than commercial. It’s a genuine passion project — which means you get the best solution available for your business.
