Solution Architecture R&D of Online Safety Automation

开发世界领先的在线保护自动化，彻底改变消费者在线保护自己的方式，最终挽救生命。COVID-19的封锁措施大大提高了全球数字连通性，针对消费者的网络犯罪激增（国际刑警组织，2020年），因为父母在家工作，孩子们远程上学，家庭寻求更多的在线娱乐。73%的青少年遭受过网络欺凌，受害者自残或有自杀念头的可能性是其他人的两倍多。一种名为“安全疲劳”的现象进一步放大了COVID-19引发的针对家庭的在线威胁的增加。76%的消费者意识到网络犯罪的风险（2018年消费者网络安全趋势报告），但由于这一切的复杂性，他们无法实施任何保护措施。消费者在线安全市场专注于生产“点解决方案”，例如更智能的家长控制。就其本质而言，它们为在线消费者遭受的各种攻击提供了一个不完整的解决方案。我们没有再创造另一个点解决方案，而是设计了一个具有破坏性的网络平台原型，作为一个聚合器，旨在使现有保护技术的实施变得更加容易。这笔拨款用于研究和开发设计和架构，以完成我们在线平台最后一个未完成的组件-开发一种创新的自动化，使用户更容易实施现有的在线安全技术。我们将利用这笔赠款进一步推动O2 / Telefonica NCSC（国家网络安全中心）网络加速器计划的发展势头，推动为消费者开发革命性的在线安全解决方案。

Develop a world-leading online protection automation, revolutionising how consumers protect themselves online, ultimately saving lives.COVID-19 lock-down measures have drastically increased global digital connectivity and cyber crime targeting consumers has sky-rocketed (Interpol, 2020) as parents work from home, children are schooled remotely and families seek more online based entertainment. 73% of teens have been cyber bullied and victims are more than twice as likely to self-harm or have suicidal thoughts.This COVID-19 induced increase in online threats against families is being further amplified by a phenomena called 'security fatigue'. 76% of consumers are aware of the risks of cyber crime (Consumer Cybersecurity Trends Report, 2018) but haven't been able to implement any protection as they're paralysed by the complexity of it all.The consumer online safety market is focused on producing 'point solutions', e.g. more intelligent parental control. These by their very nature, provide an incomplete solution to the variety of attacks being subjected to consumers online.Instead of creating yet another point solution, we've prototyped a disruptive web platform that acts as an aggregator, designed to make the implementation of existing protective technology much easier.This grant enables research and development on the design and architecture required to finalise the last unfinished component of our online platform - developing an innovative automation that makes the implementation of existing online safety technologies easier for users.We will use this grant to build further on the momentum gained from being selected for the O2 / Telefonica NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre) Cyber Accelerator programme, driving forward to develop a revolutionary online safety solution for consumers.
