LONDON, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ThreatLocker Joins Forces with Internet Watch Foundation to Tackle Child Sexual Abuse Imagery
LONDON - Oct. 1, 2025- ThreatLocker, a global provider of Zero Trust cybersecurity solutions, is now a member of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF).
The partnership reinforces the company's mission to disrupt cybercrime and support child protection by limiting the spread of harmful content online.
"The Internet Watch Foundation works tirelessly to take on one of the internet's darkest problems," said ThreatLocker Chief Product Officer Rob Allen. "ThreatLocker is proud to partner with the IWF, helping protect vulnerable children, support law enforcement and make the internet a safer place for everyone."
ThreatLocker technology makes it harder for attackers to exploit networks to distribute or access harmful material, which limits opportunities for cybercriminals to operate, and reduces the spread of dangerous material.
By integrating IWF intelligence into its Web Control solution, ThreatLocker enables organizations to block known child sexual abuse material URLs in real time. This integration strengthens filtering policies and allows rapid adaptation to new threats.
The IWF works to eliminate child sexual abuse imagery online, preventing the ongoing victimization of those abused in childhood and making the internet safer. Last year, IWF analysts took steps to remove more than 290,000 reports of child sexual abuse material.
"IWF analysts have one of the toughest jobs in the world, but it is not one that we can shirk from. We cannot look away while children are still being hurt, abused and exploited online," said IWF CEO Kerry Smith. "This is why partnerships with tech companies like ThreatLocker are so important. Their support and commitment to child protection helps bolster and strengthen our efforts and ensures that we can be unflinching in our pursuit of a better and safer digital world."
By joining the IWF, ThreatLocker is granted access to a unique range of servicesdesigned to help members defend their customers, staff and children online.
