14 DAY TRIAL // Internet Keep Safe Coalition together with Symantec Corp. have announced a partnership to educate parents on their responsibilities and the actions that they need to take in order to keep their children safe while surfing the Internet. The collaboration has materialized so to speak in an online interactive tutorial featured on iKeepSafe.org containing ten easy to follow steps for each parent in order to assure their child's safety. The two organizations are taking a stand against one of the biggest threats for the young - sexual predators, but also against other risks from online fraud to viruses offering methods and filters to keep the children at bay.
"Parents regularly educate their children about how to be safe when interacting with others in person, but the topic of online safety and how to be good cybercitizens is not often broached by parents," said Dave Cole, director, Symantec Security Response. "Since kids are now growing up using email, instant messaging and surfing the web, it's essential they know how to protect themselves during these and other Internet activities. The tutorial we created with the Internet Keep Safe Coalition helps parents teach their children the fundamentals of online safety."
