Not Machines # See the Threat Before It Finds a Victim. Everyone is being targeted online. That includes you. Attacks are tailored to your interests, your circumstances, and what is most likely to earn your trust. Behind every online scam, deceptive ad, or predatory message is a person at risk. Technology can protect a device while leaving the person using it exposed to manipulation, exploitation, grooming, and financial loss. Proxyware helps schools, communities, and public agencies understand the threats reaching the people they serve. We uncover harmful activity, turn findings into practical education, and support action to disrupt threats before more people are harmed. ##### Earlier warning. Informed communities. Fewer victims.

Through consulting and speaking, we help AGs, legislators, school districts, and platforms understand online threats, identify gaps in protection, and develop practical responses that reflect the needs of those they serve. ### ![shadow-by-helms-gate-ai-symbol-dark](https://www.proxyware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logos/shadow-by-helms-gate-ai-symbol-dark.png?width=50&height=50&name=shadow-by-helms-gate-ai-symbol-dark.png) Shadow Safety policies are promises that deserve testing. Shadow examines whether platforms enforce their own rules, uncovering gaps between stated protections and actual experiences so those responsible can understand where safeguards fall short and what needs attention. ### Frequently Asked Questions What is Proxyware, and how does it protect people online? Proxyware helps uncover online threats targeting people, including scams, deceptive ads, and predatory messages. A small physical device uses AI personas to encounter harmful activity where people are being targeted. We document what happens, trace threats to their source, and work to get them removed. Findings also inform practical education and alerts that help people recognize risks and respond. Does Proxyware monitor students, residents, or other people using our network? No. Proxyware uses AI personas to encounter threats rather than monitoring the people you serve. These personas draw harmful activity into a controlled environment, allowing us to investigate targeting tactics without using students, residents, or families as the sensors. How is Proxyware different from a content filter or cybersecurity software? Filters and cybersecurity tools help restrict content and protect systems. Harmful messages, deceptive offers, and manipulative ads can still reach people through otherwise legitimate websites and platforms. Proxyware works alongside existing protections to uncover these threats, explain who is being targeted, and support education and action to disrupt the harm. Who can benefit from Proxyware? Proxyware helps people: children, university students, senior citizens, military families, and vulnerable populations. Each group faces different risks, from predatory messages and deceptive games to impersonation scams and fraudulent benefits offers. Our intelligence and education help those serving these communities understand what is reaching people and take practical steps to protect them. What does participating in The Veiled Web Network include? Your Proxyware device connects your community to The Veiled Web, where detected threats are shared across the network within four minutes. Veiled Intelligence provides dashboard access to findings, while weekly Threat Alerts explain specific risks and recommended actions. Helms Gate Academy offers education and live webinars, supported by free downloadable resources from the Asset Library. ###### FROM THE BLOG ## Insights to Help You Protect the People Who Matter [![](https://www.proxyware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20school-day%20exposure%20gap%20leaves%20students%20vulnerable%20to%20harmful%20content%2c%20scams%2c%20deceptive%20advertising%2c%20and%20online%20risks%20that%20parents%20cannot%20see.jpg?height=200&name=The%20school-day%20exposure%20gap%20leaves%20students%20vulnerable%20to%20harmful%20content%2c%20scams%2c%20deceptive%20advertising%2c%20and%20online%20risks%20that%20parents%20cannot%20see.jpg)](https://www.proxyware.com/blog/parents-are-installing-protections-at-home-while-schools-leave-gaps-open?hsLang=en) ### [Parents Are Installing Protections at Home While Schools Leave Gaps Open](https://www.proxyware.com/blog/parents-are-installing-protections-at-home-while-schools-leave-gaps-open?hsLang=en) [![](https://www.proxyware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Kentucky%20Shield.jpg?height=200&name=Kentucky%20Shield.jpg)](https://www.proxyware.com/blog/not-searching-for-trouble-how-harmful-content-finds-kentuckys-children?hsLang=en) ### [Not Searching for Trouble: How Harmful Content Finds Kentucky's Children](https://www.proxyware.com/blog/not-searching-for-trouble-how-harmful-content-finds-kentuckys-children?hsLang=en) [![](https://www.proxyware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/How%20to%20recognize%20the%20warning%20signs%20of%20grooming.jpg?height=200&name=How%20to%20recognize%20the%20warning%20signs%20of%20grooming.jpg)](https://www.proxyware.com/blog/sextortion-the-long-con?hsLang=en) ### [Sextortion: The Long Con](https://www.proxyware.com/blog/sextortion-the-long-con?hsLang=en) View Posts # BECOME PART OF THE INTELLIGENCE NETWORK ![Who We Help Kids Small](https://243177508.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na2.net/hub/243177508/hubfs/Who%20We%20Help%20Images/Who%20We%20Help%20Kids%20Small.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Who%20We%20Help%20Kids%20Small.png) ![Who We Help Seniors Small](https://243177508.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na2.net/hub/243177508/hubfs/Who%20We%20Help%20Images/Who%20We%20Help%20Seniors%20Small.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Who%20We%20Help%20Seniors%20Small.png) ![Who We Help Gamers Small](https://243177508.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na2.net/hub/243177508/hubfs/Who%20We%20Help%20Images/Who%20We%20Help%20Gamers%20Small.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Who%20We%20Help%20Gamers%20Small.png) ![Who We Help Seniors Small](https://243177508.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na2.net/hub/243177508/hubfs/Who%20We%20Help%20Images/Who%20We%20Help%20Seniors%20Small.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Who%20We%20Help%20Seniors%20Small.png) ![Who We Help Elementary Student Small](https://243177508.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na2.net/hub/243177508/hubfs/Who%20We%20Help%20Images/Who%20We%20Help%20Elementary%20Student%20Small.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Who%20We%20Help%20Elementary%20Student%20Small.png) ![Who We Help University Students Small](https://243177508.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na2.net/hub/243177508/hubfs/Who%20We%20Help%20Images/Who%20We%20Help%20University%20Students%20Small.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Who%20We%20Help%20University%20Students%20Small.png) ![Who We Help Families Small](https://243177508.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na2.net/hub/243177508/hubfs/Who%20We%20Help%20Images/Who%20We%20Help%20Families%20Small.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Who%20We%20Help%20Families%20Small.png) [![20261013-Proxyware-Logo-with-Helms-Gate](https://www.proxyware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Proxyware%20Logos/20261013-Proxyware-Logo-with-Helms-Gate.png?width=800&height=200&name=20261013-Proxyware-Logo-with-Helms-Gate.png "20261013-Proxyware-Logo-with-Helms-Gate")](https://www.proxyware.com?hsLang=en) [envelope icon](mailto:customersfirst@proxyware.com) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578731609126) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.instagram.com/proxyware_protects/) [linkedin-in icon](https://www.linkedin.com/company/proxyware/) [youtube icon](https://www.youtube.com/@Protect_What_Matters) ©2026, Helms Gate AI  .
