Claudia Angela Paradiso

On the team, she helps define market needs, develop new services and turn operational problems into product solutions.

The Vision

The future of Adefence: continuing to evolve

Launching as the first operational company of our kind in Italy is only the starting point, not the destination. Digital marketing and advertising technology change quickly, as do the threats posed by invalid traffic and bots.

That is why Adefence continues to invest in research and development. We refine our proprietary AI algorithms and expand our Signal Engineering models to anticipate emerging challenges and give businesses and marketers the tools to navigate digital advertising with control, transparency and confidence.
