Here's how we do it.

We Help Companies ‘Do No Harm’

To identify sources of danger to your online visitors, Proxyware becomes the victim for malicious actors and gathers intelligence on attacks. We take on the personas of a senior citizen, young child, college student, veteran, government official, and more.

Unlike antivirus or firewall vendors, we help to eliminate these attacks across the entire Internet by sharing information with upstream partners who serve thousands of other websites, including ad and content management platforms, third-party plugin providers and more.

We Help Eliminate Attacks Across the Entire Internet

We help organizations in a position to protect vulnerable users with the information they need to act. From primary schools and universities, to senior communities, and religious institutions, Proxyware is the only company that approaches cybersecurity from the position of human impact, and we do it without collecting or storing any data on these vulnerable populations.

We Are Building a Safer Internet

The Internet is a fundamental building block of the modern world. Attacks - including malware, targeted misinformation and fraud - reduce trust in business, harm democracy and endanger vulnerable groups. Building a safer Internet is not only an ethical responsibility: it's necessary for a sustainable future.

Our Founders

Digital Media touches everyone. Digital data collection, targeting of content, and advertising has enveloped individuals, and so, all of society.  We gain amazing new conveniences, benefits, and forms of entertainment. We are indiscriminately, and continuously, targeted with harm.  

The Proxyware team has decades of experience working with most of the largest companies in digital technology, ad tech, media, news, entertainment, and e-commerce. In this digital world, corporations often lose sight of protecting their customers (people) in the excitement of new targeting, or media delivery technologies, or the everyday pursuit of increasing revenue. Beyond digital companies, for all companies and governments today, the focus on protecting users ends at the boundaries of the company and doesn't extend to removing harms from the internet as a whole.  More than any other reason, this myopic view of digital safety is why digital crime continues to rise, and separately why cybersecurity continues to fail in its core mission.

Proxyware is different. We created Proxyware because protecting people is our sole mission. People, grandmothers, children, the vulnerable, are the reason we got into digital crime reduction and cybersecurity in the first place.  Understanding the relationship of the Internet with people, not machines, is the missing key to defeating crime and cyber risk on the Internet.

Digital Safety is a team sport.  We work with serious companies, governments, and citizens who are willing to take action to make people safe online from the harms we see every day. Proxyware’s digital trust relationships and unrivaled detection capabilities enable us and our partners to identify and eliminate digital harm.  We welcome you to join us.
