Anura, a Privately Owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 2017 and has approximately 30 employees. The company reported $3.0M in revenue as of 2024. Specializing in ad measurement and verification, its software detects malware and ad fraud in real-time, generating accurate data for organizations.
As AI models grow more complex, AI fraud detection has become a critical line of defense against increasingly sophisticated online threats, with attackers leveraging artificial intelligence to build adaptive systems capable of evading traditional security tools. Previously, on July 1, Anura estimated advertisers lost approximately $165 billion to ad fraud in 2025, anticipating even higher invalid traffic rates in 2026 driven by AI-assisted fraud. This positions ad fraud as one of the largest hidden costs in digital marketing, considering global digital advertising spend surpassed $750 billion in 2025. On the same day, the company detailed that residential proxies are a difficult form of fraudulent traffic to detect because they are specifically designed to appear as ordinary people, recommending evaluation of the actual visitor at the moment of each connection rather than relying on past proxy list appearances. Earlier, on June 24, Anura described click spamming, also known as click flooding, as a digital ad fraud method where fraudsters use automated scripts, bots, malware, or human fraud to generate massive volumes of fake clicks on online ads.
