Today is the International Children's Day. And as you know, children are the flowers of life and they require special care and protection. As practice shows, the dangers lurk children, not only in real life, but also on the Web, and even more so these dangers are becoming relevant now, in an age of widespread penetration of the Internet into our lives.
Today's children are incredibly quickly mastering new IT-technologies and already at the age of three years, unable to read and with difficulty pronouncing words, they easily handle their parents' tablets or smartphones. In the modern pace of life, parents have less and less time for their children and many parents are happy to give the device to the child at the mercy, if only they, once again, do not disturb and distract them (a clear case of parents) from “important” cases. As a result, the child is left alone with pornography, pedophilia and many other horrors that abound in the modern Internet.
And evil in the World Wide Web abound, not even considering the above mentioned porno materials. Some advertising banners can terrify a young user.
Kaspersky Lab with its Kaspersky Internet Security product has long been a recognized leader in the field of computer security and protection and can easily help you protect your child from the negativity of the Network using the wonderful Parental Control tool. Children are particularly impressionable and, for example, scenes of violence that the Network abounds in can cause irreparable harm to the fragile, youthful psyche. In addition, the uncontrolled stay of children on the Internet can harm not only the children themselves, but also cause damage to their parents. For example, one careless click of a child can lead to the fact that your credit card data will flow to the attackers. And more adult offspring can empty parents' credit card in the online store more quickly than hackers. And this is not all the dangers that the Network harbors.
How to protect your child from all these dangers? This question is particularly acute during the summer holidays, when the child will be left to himself for almost the entire day while the parents are working. Solving this issue on your own is very difficult and time consuming. The best option in this case - it remains to entrust this important and very responsible task to the professionals.
And just to the International Day for the Protection of Children, Kaspersky Lab timed a presentation on which she spoke about the “Parental Control” and the threats with which he fights with success.
The event took place in a picturesque corner of Moscow, and at it Kaspersky Lab's experts shared with us data about resources where young Internet users most often face threats and unwanted content. Knowing the threat in person, so to speak, is much easier to deal with. Well, let's see what sources of threats are most common and what it is worth to protect your children. So, these data were obtained from the KNS cloud service and the Parental Control module.
Judging by the diagram, social networks in this list in the first place with an almost 60 percent share. Children spend in the social. networks a huge amount of time, and just in the social. networks collected the most dangerous photo and video content, moreover, this content is almost unhindered access. In addition to the content, the danger comes from various scammers with requests to send SMS or call a special number.
The list of threats continues to online shopping with a share of 9.12%. And unlike the first item, online shopping is a threat to the parents' wallet rather than to the child. The next line of this list - pornography - takes the 3rd place in the list of dangerous resources. Porn can pretty spoil the psyche of a minor user of the Network and adversely affect the rest of his life. The remaining threats have a smaller share, but this does not make them any less dangerous. Who knows where the link sent by the "friend" in the social. network or with spam e-mail. On a website dedicated to drugs, suicide, or - God forbid - in the clutches of another pervert pedophile. Therefore, the safety of the child on the web should be given special attention.
Independently monitor the activity of the child in the soc. networks or throughout the Internet is almost impossible, and in addition to the Internet, dangers lurk a child in computer games, full of cruelty, blood and violence. To keep all this under control, you need to spend a huge amount of time or use the Parental Control tool from Kaspersky Lab. “Parental Control” can be quickly and flexibly customized to fit your needs. It will help to reliably protect your child from all the above threats.
