ContentWatch and i-Technosoft tie-up to combat online threats against children in the UK

LONDON - Oct. 17, 2013 - PRLog -- ContentWatch Inc. a leading provider of Internet filter and protection solutions on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS announced the appointment of i-Technosoft, as an exclusive distributor of its leading parental control and device management solutions in the United Kingdom. ContentWatch aims to capitalise on the growing need for child safety and security solutions offering a proactive protection of mobile and desktop devices, in the UK with the market reach of i-Technosoft Corporation through its flagship products Net Nanny and ContentProtect.

According to the BBC, the UK Prime Minister David Cameron is pushing for pornography to be blocked by default across the country. He further warned in the speech that access to online pornography was “corroding childhood”. A recent rise in cyber bullying cases has pushed the government to take serious child protection initiatives. In August, 14-year-old Hannah Smith, from Leicestershire, was found hanged. Her father said she had been sent abusive messages on social networking site, ask.fm. Police are now investigating claims her older sister Joanne has received taunts on her Facebook page. NSPCC in a recent survey stated that “One in five children bullied online”. i-Technosoft intends to tackle the core problem.

Commenting on the partnership, Sheyne, Chairman of the Board at i-Technosoft, said, “We have extensively reviewed the award winning ContentWatch products prior to the signup and have realised the ease of use, effectiveness and cross platform capabilities it provides in online child protection (http://www.i-technosoft.co.uk/onlinechildprotection) as well as protection and provisioning of corporate mobile devices”. He added that “Our value offering in conjunction with Net Nanny is to enable Child Friendly Devices and Child Friendly Internet through various schools as well as non-profit child protection organisations across the UK. Primarily the company wishes to achieve the necessary government objectives in the years ahead.”
