Our story

    Confidence in a connected world

    Our connected world is full of opportunity. But to make the most of our connected lives – at home, work or play – we need to have confidence that we’re safe.

    Hi, we're BlackDice. 
    We exist to build confidence in the connected world by pioneering a safer digital future, for everyone.

    We help network operators keep people and businesses safer online – and serve their subscribers even better.

    Why we do what we do

    More people are doing more online, from different devices in different places. Meanwhile, we face a new wave of threats from more advanced and sophisticated cyber criminals.

    By 2030, society will
    be using over 50 billion vulnerable devices.

    But we're out to change that. To make sure that those devices are safe, and people can have confidence while connected. We believe everyone has the right to work, learn and play online, with the confidence that they’re protected.

    On any device, on any network, in any location.

    What we do

    What we do is cybersecurity...
    Our cybersecurity technology is applied to one of the only things in the home or business that’s always on: the router. This protects all networks, devices and people connected.
    ... powered by data intelligence...
    BlackDice technology is powered by AI and provides network operators with data intelligence. This gives them a full view of their network performance, allowing them to fix problems faster, counter threats and better understand their subscribers.
    ... to create confidence...
    By equipping routers with BlackDice technology, operators are able to better manage the significant threats they face. So families and businesses can have confidence that they’re protected while connected – on any device, on any network, in any location.

    This helps network operators:

    Fix problems faster and counter threats

    Our AI-powered cybersecurity allows operators to spot patterns and anomalies on their networks. This helps keep people and businesses even safer, as operators will have the technology to counter threats and fix problems faster, or before they even happen. 

    Better understand their subscribers

    Data intelligence helps operators understand why their subscribers call, when they call and what they could do to prevent it. As well as making call centres more efficient and reducing costs, BlackDice also helps operators attract and retain subscribers by providing insights to help them improve the quality of experience they provide.

    By doing this, we're helping everyone stay safe online.

    We believe everyone has a right to learn, work and play online. The people and businesses who subscribe to the network operators we partner with, receive a higher quality service through a safer network provider that keeps them protected.

     

    How we do it

    We help network operators keep people and businesses safer online – and serve their subscribers even better, through our Technology, Data, Knowledge, and People.

    Technology

    Our pioneering technology is the foundation of everything we do, and we’ll continue to develop pioneering tech, systems and approaches that will adapt as the online world evolves.
    Today, we work with network operators and hardware manufacturers around the globe, adding our AI-powered cybersecurity technology to routers to protect families and businesses. BlackDice technology protects anything with an IP address, and in the future, we’ll look to scale into other industries, keeping people and devices safe while they’re connected. 

    Data

    Having our technology on routers globally has allowed us to create an unrivalled set of data. This “data lake” helps inform us about the threats and challenges to online lives everywhere, from bedrooms to boardrooms, from Manchester to Mumbai. We enrich this data with other external data sets, then use augmented intelligence – machine learning and deep learning – to create a full picture of network activity. This data becomes a self-learning network, where AI informs network operators about incoming threats and performance issues, and helps them better understand their subscribers.

    Knowedge

    To make the most of their lives online, we’re getting people thinking and acting on online safety. By educating everybody – not just operators and their subscribers, but wider stakeholders such as the public, regulators and authorities – we’re giving people the tools and knowledge to make better choices and feel empowered to own their safety. 

    People

    Our mission needs talent to make it happen – skilled technologists, developers and engineers to keep defining and creating the solutions that will keep people and businesses safer online, well into the future. That's why we're contributing to the skills system, setting up partnerships with education providers, helping industry recruiters remove bias from their work for greater diversity and offering apprenticeships and employment opportunities for talented people to join us.We’re both building the industry and creating the skills to sustain it.
