SafeToNet Secures Growth Investments From DuKlaw Ventures


LONDON, February 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

SafeToNet™ Social Responsibility and Cyber Security Service Launching in 2016. 

SafeToNet™, the British Social Responsibility and Cyber Security company with the technology to help safeguard social media and social network users from abuse and other online predatory risks, has announced a £3m investment in funding capital and resources from Swiss-based DuKlaw Ventures.

The funding from DuKlaw Ventures has significantly increased the power and market potential of SafeToNet's cyber-harm blocking services. DuKlaw Ventures has already brought significant value to SafeToNet™ by delivering mission critical resources (including a Tier 1 server network), technologies, capital and an integrated cyber security capability that will springboard SafeToNet™ as a globally capable cyber security and intelligence company.

"The SafeToNet™ services are precisely what the social media and social network markets need to provide protection from abusive and socially irresponsible behaviour. SafeToNet™ leverages cyber security level technologies at a human level providing an essential component in the inter-operable cyber security value chain. We anticipate that SafeToNet™ will lead the market in a new era of smart innovation in cyber security " said Colin Forrest, Principal at DuKlaw Ventures.

SafeToNet's founder and CEO Richard Pursey said:

"SafeToNet's pro-active cyber-harm blocking service protects anyone concerned about the personal risks of not ust social networks but most other online engagement platforms. Parents in particular fret about the new-age risks faced by their children including cyber bullying, grooming, radicalisation and more. SafeToNet™ gives them peace of mind. SafeToNet™ blocks anti-social content before it is seen and harm is done. The relationship with DuKlaw Ventures has placed SafeToNet™ in the top league of cyber security companies and given us a solid foundation to grow internationally and with speed."



SafeToNet™ is a cyber security app that safeguards users at a human level. It leverages a mixture of behavioural, sentiment and correlative analytics to contextualise incoming and outgoing messages automatically and in real-time blocking harmful content. It can detect cyber bullying, Catfish (users who are not who they say they are) and detect grooming, flaming, trolling and other criminal and anti-social behaviour.

SafeToNet™ launches in late spring 2016 and initially as a platform to be embedded into company applications to protect and safeguard their user base. In the summer of 2016 SafeToNet™ launches its consumer service aimed at all users of social engagement networks and notably parents wishing to safeguard their children. SafeToNet™ will be available on any platform; tablet, smartphone or computer with internet access.
