Why You Need This
Young children can pose a big risk to your family’s digital security, as well as to their own. They can unknowingly download viruses and ransomware to your devices. They can share your credit card information across the web or they could stumble onto websites not appropriate for someone their age. Thus, it’s prudent to be proactive in protecting not only your child but also yourself from digital risks.
