[{MISSION}]
A safer online world beyond our own products
Keeping families safe online with FOSI
As a member of the Family Online Safety Institute, we work with an international non-profit dedicated to making the online world safer for children and families. Together we run public education programmes and share what we see in the threat landscape, because AI is changing the risks families face at home.
We help put cybercriminals out of business
We have fought cybercrime since 2001, and since 2015 we have done it alongside law enforcement. Our investigators work cases with national and international agencies, and we release our ransomware decryptors free to anyone who needs them. There are over 30 of them so far, and they have saved victims an estimated $1.6 billion in ransoms they never had to pay. In 2024 we helped take down 100 servers in Operation Endgame.
Taking on scams with the Global Anti-Scam Alliance
Our fraud research feeds into the Global Anti-Scam Alliance, which brings together governments, banks, platforms and security companies to protect people from online fraud. We contribute threat intelligence and consumer research, because scams now cost people more than any other form of cybercrime.
