Children have holidays now and they have more free time for smartphones and Internet. As flow of incoming information is huge, the following question becomes obvious: how to protect children from informational threats online and provide them comfortable surfing the web?

“The desire to protect children from overbold actions on the Internet – natural tendency of each parent. On the Internet there are the same rules, as in life: children need to get acquainted with the world, and parents – explain them, where danger can occur, and direct them. With the products of Kaspersky Lab this process will become easier”, says Evgeny Pitolin, Managing Director of the Kaspersky Lab office in Kazakhstan, Central Asia and Mongolia.
Two years ago Kaspersky Lab conducted international research and studied behavior of children on the Internet. Research showed that more than half of Russian children hide their activity on the Internet, which could get their parents attention. In 92% cases teenagers hide viewing of content inappropriate for age, communication with strangers, participation in cyberbulling. But at the same time most of interviewed children and teenagers would like to talk to parents about cyber threats, in order to feel themselves protected.
“Children quickly learn new things, as well as on the Internet, where so much interesting – learning video materials, online-games, cartoons, serials, among which, unfortunately, there can be an inappropriate content, “Parental control” is the service for children’s security and for parents’ quietness. We are glad to start this service in our products ecosystem jointly with Kaspersky Lab, in order to offer our clients modern and technology mobile products”, noticed Natalya Eskova, Leader of the Communication Department of the Kcell JSC.
