It\u2019s been a while since my last post on new\/updated products<\/a>, so here\u2019s making up for that\u2026<\/p>\n

Our K<\/em>ompany mission is to protect any and all citizens of the digital world \u2014 anywhere and any-when \u2014 against all cyber-evil in all its many flavors, stripes and categories. And that of course includes protection of the world\u2019s most vulnerable internet users \u2014 children.<\/p>\n

We firmly believe in advising kids on how to recognize potential threats on the internet, as well as how to conduct oneself properly on the internet in general. Then, hopefully, there\u2019s nothing embarrassing or even painful accompanying a child online for the rest of his\/her life; after all, whatever\u2019s put on the internet stays there \u2014 forever. We do our bit in this in various ways; for example: with webinars, public speaking appearances, joint educational projects, books, cartoons, videos and research.<\/p>\n

And we also provide protection for kids with our parental-controls app \u2014 Kaspersky Safe Kids<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Up and running several years already, the app is constantly improved and fine-tuned so as to better suit the particular needs of children and their parents when it comes to using digital devices safely.<\/p>\n

But it hasn\u2019t always been plain sailing for us: a couple years ago we had to\u2026 \u2014 get this: \u201cfight for the right to protect children\u201d with our app. Eh?!<\/em> Indeed, we had to resort to legal action in connection with a certain famous apple-emblazoned company to prevent its using unfair competitive advantages for its own parental-controls function included in its mobile operating system. Still, as is our wont<\/a> with legal battles, we won the antitrust case, and the functionality that wasn\u2019t permitted before was enabled; fairness, common sense and justice prevailed! Interested in how the Federal Antimonopoly Service case went? Then check out this<\/a>, this<\/a> and this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ok \u2014 back to our fully-functional Safe Kids app. I think I\u2019ve already mentioned that we constantly improve it. Well let me tell you about the latest improvements\u2026<\/p>\n

In the very latest version of the app for iOS we\u2019ve expanded the functionality<\/a> for parents \u2014 adding more features for supervising their offsprings\u2019 online activity. Thus, parents (or guardians) can now more thoroughly filter undesirable online content as per specific categories, learn more about the preferences and interests of their children (in particular, by monitoring what YouTube videos are watched), and set screen-time limits.<\/p>\n

Here are a few screenshots of the interface for parents:<\/p>\n

\"Parents'<\/a><\/p>\n

Thus, as if by magic, the app can be used to transform (at least for now) YouTube into a useful \u2014 and more importantly, safe \u2014 educational and entertainment platform. And that\u2019s something to be applauded.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t just take my word for it. Our app\u2019s been fully tested<\/a> and recognized<\/a> as rocking by various independent experts around the world. For example, based on the results of broad testing of parental control solutions in 2021, our Safe Kids was both approved and praised<\/a> by the independent research institute AV-TEST<\/a> GmbH:<\/p>\n

\"Kaspersky<\/a><\/p>\n

Fast forward to this year, and at the annual Mobile World Congress (MWC Barcelona 2022<\/a>) Safe Kids was deemed the top parental-control solution in the Best of MWC 2022<\/a> awards. Oh yes. Oh nice.<\/p>\n

But we won\u2019t be stopping there; why would we? We\u2019ll simply carry on tweaking and improving it. Sure, doing so is getting increasingly harder, as it\u2019s near perfect as-is; but we will \u2014 somehow ). Stay tuned!\u2026<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
