The Top Apps Parents Should Know Their Kids Are Using

As kids age, they become more interested in using apps on their smartphones and tablets. While some apps are safe and age-appropriate, others can be dangerous for children. As a parent, it's essential to be aware of the most popular apps your kids are using, so you can make sure they're staying safe online.

Protect ALL your devices

Nowadays, people have access to everything from phones, and tablets, to smart fridges or devices (like Google Home or Amazon Echo Dot) that lets you voice control the lights or TV. All these connected devices can make everything seem more convenient, but it also makes users vulnerable to online security attacks.

The HomeNet App empowers parents with controls to easily create and enforce online rules for the users and devices in their home networks.

Parents can do things like:

• Pause the internet on your device
• Choose what apps you can use and for how long
• See how long you use your apps.
• Change what you see in some apps, like Google Search or YouTube.
• Choose what websites you can visit
• Be notified if you try to access content or exceed screen limits

If you have our HomeNet Advanced, you can access ProtectIQ™, which gives you the internet security you need. It leverages an extensive cloud database of known virus and ransomware threats. By looking for the specific signatures of these threats in real-time, ProtectIQ can terminate the transfer of data before a malicious payload is delivered to any vulnerable devices in the network. As new threats are emerging daily, the threat database is continuously updated to offer protection against the latest threats. ProtectIQ is a network-level security application that works quietly in the background and proactively keeps malicious websites, viruses, and intrusions away from your home 24x7.
