Analysis
Children face a range of threats in the digital world. These include the risk of sexual exploitation and abuse. Threats and technologies can change rapidly.
Systematic identification and mitigation is essential to strengthen safeguarding of children. Threat analysis and management are essential tools to help identify and manage risks.
Detailed and up-to-date assessments are needed, including defining risks and trends. This includes specific risks from technology infrastructure and broader online risks. Some of these online threats mirror dangers to children in the physical world, including the risk of abuse and exploitation within homes and communities.
