Introduction to CSA

Over the past years, the Clean Software Alliance (CSA) operated to champion sustainable, consumer-friendly practices within the software distribution ecosystem by establishing and enforcing best practices by and among its members and the industry at large. Comprised of antimalware vendors, software distribution and monetization firms, and major software platforms, the CSA works across its constituents to codify and operationalize industry best practices.

In 2024 the CSA launched the Clean Search Alliance program, which advocates for self-regulation to ensure the sustainability and growth of the search industry, mainly by providing a positive user experience while ensuring quality traffic for advertisers.
