Message from Co-founder/CEO Jack Marshall
Hello,
When I first ventured into cybersecurity back in 2003, a well-respected CISO shared a piece of wisdom that has stuck with me:
"Security is easy if you have the right attitude.
Imagine a glass of water filled halfway. Some will say it's half empty; others will say it's half full. In cybersecurity, however, "THE GLASS IS TRYING TO KILL YOU."
It was a funny thought back then. Organizations were battling self-replicating malware like Code Red, or the Anna Kournikova virus that flooded email servers with endless messages. The stakes felt different.
But then things changed. Cybercrime escalated. What started as disruptive mischief turned into serious financial theft. Today, cybercrime is estimated to cause $6 trillion USD in global damages by 2021. If cybercrime were a country, it would rank as the world's third-largest economy, trailing only the U.S. and China.
People aren't laughing anymore. If you know someone who's been a victim, you understand that the impact goes far beyond financial loss. The stress, anxiety, and sheer time drain can be overwhelming. I've met people whose lives were turned upside down — often at the worst possible moments, like just before a vacation or while planning a wedding. Their stories are heartbreaking.
This service is designed to help prevent such experiences. It exists as a free service for everyone — whether you're non-technical, older, or simply a good person trying to stay safe online. Our goal is to provide simple, effective protection to keep you and your loved ones from becoming victims.
Stay safe,
Jack Marshall
