This prestigious designation highlights Safer's impactful role in protecting content-hosting platforms from the risks of hosting child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and other forms of child sexual exploitation.

The Marketplace Risk Solution Provider Excellence Program identifies and celebrates solution providers like Thorn who have demonstrated exceptional ability to innovate and implement strategies that effectively mitigate digital risks.
