Cyberattacks aren’t exactly an ad fraud issue but they’re related.  So let’s finish with the admittedly depressing news that 86% of all organizations were victims of a successful cyberattack last year, according to this CyberEdge report.  And that’s just the ones who discovered the problem.  Yes, things really are getting worse: the attack rates is up from 62% six years ago, and the fraction of respondents who expect their company to suffer a successful attack has grown from 38% eight years ago to 76% today.

CDP Zeotap has added prebuilt predictive models to its system, enabling non-technical users to create audiences based on predicted Recency-Frequency-Monetary value or Customer Lifetime Value segments.  The system can also enrich audiences with Zeotap’s age, demographic and interest data.  Zeotap is among the relatively few B2C CDPs providing its own audience data.

Amperity has launched Lakehouse CDP,  which delivers CDP functions within “lakehouse” data stores including Snowflake and Databricks.  Amperity tools for data modeling, data quality, identity resolution, generative AI, segmentation, and performance measurement will send all results to a company’s own lakehouse rather than a separate Amperity-managed database. Modules can be used independently but the real benefit here is that Amperity is one of the few “composable” CDP vendors who offer a complete set of pre-integrated CDP functions.
