Backed by a team of global safety experts based around the world and alerted within minutes of potential issues, allowing for accurate and rapid intervention.

Combat provides a complete solution, bringing together enhanced discriminating technology that has incredible accuracy with a team of over 200 risk protection experts based across the globe and managed from a 24/7 UK command centre. The sophisticated technology within Combat can spot the ‘needle in the haystack’ from billions of pieces of content producing almost negligible rates of false positives.

“The massive increase in real-time image, video and group messaging has unfortunately been more than matched by the activities of on-line bad actors such as child sex offenders, extremist groups and others looking to exploit young and vulnerable people,” says Adam Hildreth, CEO and founder of Crisp Thinking. “We are also seeing an increasing trend in tactics where young people are tricked into sending explicit images or videos which are then used as blackmail for money or to further extort indecent images from the young person.
“Combat builds on our ten years of expertise in spotting the bad people, bringing a new level of protection for young people, allowing social networks and mobile apps to offer a new level of safety without compromising functionality, user experience or privacy.
“We have chosen to unveil Combat on Safer Internet Day because as the world-leader in this field, we have already reviewed over 90 billion pieces of user-generated content per year and have protected more than 420 million users over the past 10 years, we are committed to protecting young and vulnerable people who have the right to enjoy the internet without having their safety put at risk.”
