INFOWORKS TECHNOLOGY EXTENDS REACH OF PC SECURITY & PRIVACY PRODUCT SUITE WITH THE ADDITION OF FAMILY CYBER ALERT INTERNET ACTIVITY MONITOR
Family Cyber Alert provides to parents the tools for monitoring their children’s online activity and promoting safe and responsible Internet use
Sewickley, PA - 09/11/05 - InfoWorks Technology, today announced the introduction of its Family Cyber Alert online monitoring solution to address both safety and privacy concerns relative to children’s Internet activities. “Parents are aware of the dangers that some common online activities invite for their children. Until now, parents have struggled with the choice of either generally restricting Internet access, which has distinct negative impact on the children’s educational, social and cultural development, versus blindly giving them access to explore the vast cyber world without supervision,” said Jesse Song, President of InfoWorks Technology. “Now, with Family Cyber Alert, they have an effective tool to more confidently allow children access to such a valuable medium while remaining aware of how they are using the Internet, and alerting them of potentially unsafe activity.”
Adds Song, “Parents have come to realize that filter solutions are not an effective approach to online safety, especially with regards to the more dangerous e-mail, online chat and instant messaging activities that can put children in direct contact with complete strangers. Internet safety experts today are advocating the more proactive approach of monitoring of children’s online activity in conjunction with educating them on safe, responsible use. Family Cyber Alert has been developed in response to these previously unaddressed needs.”
About Family Cyber Alert
Family Cyber Alert allows the parent to easily establish a level of online monitoring with which they are most comfortable, monitoring for safety while still providing for appropriate levels of privacy. Easy-to-understand online activity reports highlight general activity and identify those that may prompt closer inspection, without overwhelming parents with more detail then they want or have time to sort through. Parents can receive e-mail alerts when potentially unsafe online activities are identified, and then get more detail as needed.
