DefenderNet classifies online challenges into 31 categories, following Trust and Safety best practices. This ensures consistent reporting and effective knowledge sharing across the network.

DefenderNet was developed by GamerSafer, a safety tech company dedicated to protecting millions of players worldwide. This project was made possible through a partnership with Safe Online, supporting innovative solutions to create safer digital spaces.
