Introduction
Proton was founded in 2014 by a group of experts from CERN (the European Organisation for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland with the goal of creating a more secure and private internet by default.
The World Wide Web has been a game-changer for humanity ever since its inception at CERN in 1991. To use the internet today, however, many of us must provide extremely sensitive information to corporations that put profit before privacy. Governments often exploit this information improperly to restrict citizens’ rights in various parts of the world.
Proton was founded on the ideal that everyone should be able to take charge of their own digital life and enjoy true digital independence. In this brave new world, you can have private conversations with anyone, keep your personal information safe, and defend yourself against hackers and identity thieves.
