The reality is that as young children spend more time online, parents are struggling to protect them from threats, including viewing inappropriate content, becoming victims of cyberbullying or accidentally sharing private data.

Remarkably, more than half of children aged 6 to 9 now use the internet every day, and a third of parents believe they have no control over what their children see online. With operating systems offering only basic protection tools, it is vital that parents step up their efforts to protect their children from online threats.
There are many solutions for protecting children online, and Kaspersky Safe Kids is recognized as one of the best for protecting children, having achieved AV-TEST certifications when running on three of the major desktop and mobile operating systems: Windows, iOS, and Android. This endorsement comes after AV-TEST evaluated 11 parental control tools for desktop computers running Windows 10 and MacOS, as well as 11 parental control apps for Android, iOS, and Fire OS.
The test evaluates how well third-party child safety apps and internal operating system security tools perform in providing filters and settings to keep kids protected online, including: Cyberbullying protection; adult content access control; private data transfer control; digital screen time control; online money trap protection; online grooming protection; and privacy protection.
AV-TEST independent software evaluation data on child protection just released.
Accordingly, the desktop version of Kaspersky Safe Kids has proven effective in protecting children from accessing harmful websites, with superior filtering blocking adult material in 7/10 content types. In addition, content about illegal data exchange and file sharing, websites containing weapons, ammunition, violent content, etc. are also blocked.
The test also found that the Kaspersky Safe Kids desktop app not only blocks more links to prohibited content, but also protects children from more threats, including controlling the transfer of personal data and protecting against online money traps. The review found that the Kaspersky Safe Kids version is the only solution tested and certified to protect children from online grooming – something that is important for parents to consider. According to some studies, it can take as little as 45 minutes for a cybercriminal to groom a child online.
“We are delighted to receive AV-TEST certification for our Kaspersky Safe Kids solution. This is our way of ensuring that children are protected from the many threats and harmful situations they may encounter online,” said Timur Biyachuev, Vice President of Threat Research at Kaspersky Lab.
