ESS Distribution has launched Parental Control for Android app in India. The application designed to helps parents protect their children in the online world.
ESET Parental Control for Android is a child-friendly family protection system which helps parents to build a respectful relationship with their children who use their own smartphones or tablets. Designed to help parents protect their children against internet threats and inappropriate web pages, the app boasts a wealth of child protection features and a friendly user interface.
“ESET Parental Control app for Android safeguards children on smart devices by giving them protection and user experience, without limiting performance,” said Branislav Orlik, Product Manager, ESET.
Having a tool to manage what their children do with their tablets and smartphones is important for parents. A survey commissioned by ESET in the UK and the US showed that 88% of parents are worried about what their children can access online.
In this survey, 81% of parents said that they were troubled by the idea of their child visiting inappropriate web pages; 71% mentioned their children forwarding personal details to strangers; while 61% highlighted excessive amounts of time spent on devices.
Despite parents’ fears, only few of them have installed a parental control app to help manage their children’s online experiences, the survey revealed.
“India is considered one of the youngest countries in the world. Considering the pace at which mobile technologies, as well as internet access spread in the country, I believe, parents should pay extra attention to what their children do on the Internet,” said Zakir Hussain, Head of ESS Distribution, official distributor of ESET products in India.
“While educational institutes and government in general do create policies to protect children from cyber-bullying, hacking and other harmful activities, I believe parents themselves should be in the forefront of this battle. ESET Parental Control for Android app is an easy and reliable way to do it,” Hussain added.
