About Kidas

Our Story

Growing up, our founder, Ron Kerbs,  loved playing video games. In the last few years, he noticed that games require more online communication with other players. While most players enjoy this additional social aspect, younger players rarely know how to mange the inherent risks of online anonymity and are vulnerable to threats like cyberbullying and online predators.

 

Ron decided to solve this problem using the skills he gained in his previous role as a developer of threat detection solutions. Kidas was born from the passion to apply the most advanced technology to make video games safer for the youngest gamers among us.

​

 

Our mission: Let children enjoy online gaming while making sure that they are safe.
