Whilst Cyber Insurance policies are available for companies and most have taken pro-active risk management steps to ensure cyber safety in the working environment, there remains a cyber-risk for private homes. The risk and dangers are even greater for kids as devices have become an essential tool for school and in their socialisation.
Here are a few practical things you can do to keep them safe online.
No matter how young or old they are, discuss about what they do online. Establish your own family rules about what is appropriate. Teach them concerning their digital footprint and that it does not disappear. The same way you don’t want them to be bullied online, teach them how to behave, interact with people and represent themselves in a good manner.
For the little ones who don’t as yet know the dangers, monitor and control what they watch and access online. For mobile devices, set them to forget Wi-Fi passcodes so your children can’t go online themselves. For older kids do random checks using the browsing history and service provider history pages.
Use the parental controls/search restrictions offered by web browsers, internet service providers and the devices themselves. For instance, the SafeSearch Filters feature on Google will block sites with explicit sexual material.
Keep an eye on online friends who your children don’t physically know.
Make them aware of the risks of giving out their personal information or images online. Child porn unfortunately is growing so keep them safe. Also, they shouldn’t make their location visible online.
Limit their online time to homework/study sessions and play sessions. Experts recommend that children below 18 should have not more than 2 hours of screen time a day. Encourage them to go out and physically play.
Lastly, our children will copy us. Model the kind of online behaviour & gadgets relationship you want them to follow.
