Dedicated to creating safer schools through innovative technology and comprehensive safety solutions
Our innovation addresses how the rise of AI and online platforms has worsened challenges for children and teens, from harmful content and cyberbullying to mental health crises and violence. Current solutions fail because they were designed for an outdated era of email and web browsing, unable to keep up with the complexities of social media, videos, and real-time apps that dominate young lives today. Our solution bridges this gap with advanced AI and real-time monitoring to provide early intervention where it's needed most. Unlike reactive, outdated tools, our platform proactively identifies risks on the platforms kids use most, assessing behaviors and flagging potential dangers before they escalate.With machine learning-driven risk scoring and a compact design that works on any device, our solution goes above and beyond. By focusing on the digital spaces teens truly engage with, we provide deeper, more effective protection for every child.
Our services include custom risk assessment and detection for students visiting and viewing risky content, allowing for quick intervention and prevention
Our systems are built around the problems we try to solve, randing from drugs to alcahol and violence detection, we cover all sorts of risky behavior, ensuring each child is safe
Our systems do things no one else does, cover all types of content. While web filters and blockers do just that, filter and block, we view each type of content, even things regular web detection can't see such as videos and chatbot prompts, leading to more personalized and better web security
Our track record of success and satisfied schools speaks to our commitment to excellence in school safety
