Parents have
always managed to set geographical boundaries – where their children could go
and where they could not – back in time. Nowadays there is another opportunity
to monitor the child’s whereabouts – to track the location of them using
special software. Yet, according to Kaspersky’s special survey for parents, not
many parents in Nigeria realise this.
According to the
“Responsible Digital Parenting” survey*, 79% of Nigerian parents do not track
the location of their child. The reasons for this vary: 54% have never thought
of tracking the location, while 28% do not know how to do it. There is an
option to have the software, which lets parents locate their children on a map
and set a safe area for them to stay in, installed on their children’s devices.
However, 38% of parents in Nigeria claim they do not have it installed on any
of their devices.
“Modern times
offer a wide range of tools which can help in preventing accidents in real or
digital life. It is crucial to know how to use them, what their benefits are,
and, actually, use them. Tracking your child’s location can definitely save you
a lot of trouble – its advantages lie also in the fact that it allows to
control not only digital, but also real life of the child,” commented Andrey
Sidenko, Head of Child Safety at Kaspersky Network.
To secure and
protect your child both in digital and in real life, Kaspersky strongly
recommends following this advice:
Learn more on the
topic of children’s cybersecurity: explore modern trends, apps, the way of
behaviour that has to be adopted in order to safeguard against dangers (for
instance, the basic security rules while on the Internet); update your network
security knowledge periodically, use the Kaspersky blog www.Kaspersky.com/blog
to do this.
Communicate with
your child and define the borders which are not meant to be crossed: discuss
with them safe locations both real and webpages.
