Vision and strategy
Gryphon was started due to an incident with John's daughter where she accidentally stumbled on some nasty content while searching for princesses on her iPad. This is a worry that all parents are facing today.
We founded Gryphon with the vision to make the internet a safer place for families and small businesses—by creating an affordable and easy-to-use platform that combines the latest in network protection, machine learning, and wireless connectivity.
Just like the personal computer revolution, we believe this is the beginning of a revolution in personal home network protection.
With the increase in home internet usage driven by the pandemic, our mission to protect our online activities is more important than ever!
Web without worry—that's our promise and our mission.
