The internet has become an inextricable part of daily life, especially for kids. Studies show that 1/3 of a child's life is spent online, with 77 percent of children attending online school, and 94 percent of teens performing online research on a regular basis. Young adults are also found to network online with people they don't really know.
It all starts at home
An average household has about 12 connected devices. If you happen to have kids aged 8 to 16, there's a good chance that they have come across inappropriate content because your home network isn't secure enough. In fact, most parental control solutions are insufficient. Especially now, when so much schooling is online, it's important to have the flexibility to easily manage a child's access to websites and apps throughout the week. But it’s not just children who are at risk–an unsecured network makes you and your family vulnerable to dangerous cyber threats like hacking, malware attacks, identity theft, and access to your private personal data.
Robust security all day, every day
A simple yet powerful solution is Gryphon, an innovative cloud-managed, network-based protection platform. It features an elegant, high-performance Wi-Fi router system, an intuitive app, and its patented machine learning security learns and monitors the traffic patterns to every IoT device in your home to detect threats of cyber attacks.
Gryphon is a digital gate keeper that combines network performance with complete protection. With the app, you can filter content that each device connected to the network could access, set user levels, manage screen time, and more. Of course, it also works to protect you from malware and intrusions. It even boasts patented mobile protection when away from the home network.
In the past two years, Gryphon has managed to successfully block over over 8 million threats across hundreds of thousands of connected devices. It's also trusted by more than 25,000 families to protect their digital lives. It has since been crowned as the best parental control solution by multiple publications like Fatherly, awarded Best of CES 2019 by Tech Aeris, garnered more than 2,000 customer reviews, and generated over 160% YoY 2019 revenue growth.
Beyond digital parenting
The internet can be a scary place, and there’s no telling what it will be like in the future. You can take part in protecting the digital lives of not only your family but also others across the globe by taking part in innovating a safer internet. With the cybersecurity industry expected to blow up to a $270 billion market and connected devices growing to 74 billion by 2025, there's plenty of work to do.
The spike in connected devices is only increasing your vulnerability to online threats that can harm your privacy, expose you to identity theft and inappropriate content or worse. And in addition to digital parenting, you can protect your family further by capitalizing on both short and long-term growth opportunities in the cybersecurity sector.
Gryphon is offering you a chance to participate in innovation, with its revolutionary cybersecurity technology. As of writing, the company has intellectual property protected by five patents issued and other patents pending, which covers machine learning-based network protection and parental controls. Co-founder and CEO John Wu was also one of the key inventors of the MiFi mobile hotspot and currently holds 25 patents.
