"Digital Shield" program is dedicated to the research and advocacy of internet safety. The objective of this program is to create a safer digital environment by conducting comprehensive research through collaboration with technology firms and academia on emerging online threats, advocating for robust internet safety policies, and educating the public about best practices for online security. By understanding the evolving landscape of internet safety, the organization aims to influence policy, promote safer online behaviors, and foster a secure and inclusive digital world.
We recognize the importance of a collaborative approach to internet safety. Therefore, the SPOT Alliance:
