Currently, children spend much of their leisure time playing or entertaining through devices with an internet connection. This puts their security at risk, in the sense that their privacy may be compromised and, consequently, be victims of cybercriminals, or access content that is not appropriate for their age.
WHAT CAN WE DO AS PARENTS?
In general, there are some basic measures that we can implement if we want to increase the security level of mobile phones, tablets, computers and consoles for our kids. Here are these:
- Change the default passwords, when appropriate, and configure some that you, the parents, know.
- Review the conversations that children have maintained through email, chat rooms or other online messaging services, as well as social networks.
- Monitor the different user profiles of your children in the different devices and applications. Also those of the friends that relate to them.
- Review the information provided by the manufacturers in relation to these devices, or the conditions of use of applications and social networks.
- Establish parental controls and keep updating the software configured for this purpose in order to adopt the latest security measures and thus avoid any external attack.
- Activate means of payment to access certain content or services in which a password must be used that is not known by the minor.
- Speak openly with your children about the use of these devices connected to the Internet and warn them about the dangers of the network in a climate of total confidence.
