DNSFilter announced today that it has joined the WeProtect Global Alliance to help prevent the spread of child sex abuse material (CSAM) online. This partnership will help further WeProtect's mission and work toward creating a safer online environment for children.
The WeProtect Global Alliance was founded to create a cohesive, comprehensive response to the widespread issue of online child sexual abuse and exploitation. It brings together partners from governments, non-profit organizations and the private sector to develop policies and solutions. Research by the Alliance has found that the volume of reported abuse material cases increased by 87% between 2019 and 2023.
A report by DNSFilter found that Super Bowl Sunday saw a 57% rise in malicious gambling and betting content. There was a 15% increase in illegal streaming and torrenting traffic related to fake streaming sites during championship weekend compared to the previous average held between May and December 2024, indicating an escalating risk of security issues tied to streaming during major NFL events.

By 2025, zero trust will be the dominant architecture model, fully replacing outdated perimeter-based models. Security controls will focus increasingly on the workforce and workloads rather than just the workplace, leading to enhanced protection across diverse environments.
