The internet didn't come with a guardian. So we built one.
Argos Guardian is a cyber-safety education initiative from Intelligent Automation — the security team that protects businesses from these exact attacks every day, now aimed at the people getting hit hardest and taught the least: kids.
We see these attacks land. Every day. On everyone.
Intelligent Automation runs a real security operation — threat intelligence, incident response, the works. We watch phishing, impersonation and account theft succeed against grown professionals with training and IT support behind them.
Then we watched our own kids get the same messages, in the same apps, with none of that behind them. Guardian is what happened next.
Adults get an IT department. Kids get a group chat. We wanted to even that up. — The team behind Argos Guardian
A guardian that never blinks.
Argos takes its name from Argus Panoptes — the guardian of myth with a hundred eyes, the one who never fully slept. The whole Argos family is built on that idea: watchful, always awake, on your side.
Guardian carries that DNA to a different job. Not watching a network — teaching a kid to watch for themselves. Because the goal was never to hover over their shoulder forever. It's to make them the guardian.
Four principles we won't trade away.
Kids first
If a choice is good for growth but bad for a child, it's not a choice. No ads, no data sold, no profiling.
Real, not scary
Fear doesn't teach — it freezes. We show the trick, then the move, and leave kids more capable, not more afraid.
Honest about hard things
The grooming module waits for expert review. We'd rather ship late than ship harm.
Made by practitioners
This comes from people who fight these attacks for a living — not a content mill guessing at what teens face.
Help us reach the kids who need it.
Whether you teach, parent, or just care about this — the fastest way to help is to put one lesson in front of one kid.
