ISLAMABAD: With the spread of digital devices and extensive information available online, parents’ concerns are increasingly about how to protect their children from inappropriate content and excessive device use.

Kaspersky, a global cybersecurity company, has announced a strategic partnership with Transworld, a leading internet and TV service provider in Pakistan, to offer Kaspersky Safe Kids — a

cutting-edge parental control and child safety application.

According to a statement, the joint venture aims to deliver enhanced online safety for children while providing parents with peace of mind as they

monitor and manage their children’s digital activities.

It includes GPS Tracking to view children’s real-time location and safe areas to create a secure perimeter with a schedule specifying when the child should be inside it and sounding an alarm when the child leaves the area during the set time.

Detailed reports on children’s applications and web usage allow parents to stay informed about their online activities.

“This cybersecurity solution also allows setting daily time limits for specific apps to prevent excessive screen time and device addiction.

Parents can ensure safe browsing by filtering inappropriate content.

It is part of our commitment to enhance the digital experience of the customers,” IT Director at Transworld Pakistan Muneeb Rabbani.

“We believe App will help Pakistani parents make their children’s online activities safe and positive,” General Manager in the Middle East and Pakistan at Kaspersky Rashed Al Momani said.
