ESET: One in three people using the internet is a childhowever, for small browsers the internet is still an environment full of significant risks.

Especially if they spend a lot of time in media, τα παιδιά μπορεί να χρειαστεί να αντιμετωπίσουν από malware και phising, μέχρι κλοπή προσωπικών and cyberbullying.

Since it is practically impossible for a parent to ban or restrict the use of social media in their children, it can at least educate them to be careful. THE ESET has compiled four basic guidelines for parents who are concerned about their children's exposure to social media and are looking for effective ways of educating and supervising them.

Let's look at ESET's instructions:

Correct bases for responsible use of the Internet. Initial explorations of children on the Internet should be supervised by parents, with tips and guidance that help them develop critical thinking and make better use of the Internet. From the outset, it is useful for children to know that they must think before they click on any link or button and that they must be cautious with people they do not know.

Dialogue and good example. Responsible use can be taught with the right parenting example: we watch as we behave online, remember that any action on the internet leaves traces, that anything shared or published can potentially stay there forever, and how important it is to protect our data properly. passwords. Cultivating dialogue is also very important because it enables children to discuss their concerns openly with their parents. 

Making technology an ally. The technology itself offers a range of tools that can significantly shield it of the children. First, parents need to ensure that basic security measures are followed on the devices that children use, i.e. that the necessary system and software updates are installed. Also, creating user accounts with special child-specific settings and restrictions and using parental control tools are designed to help children use the Internet safely and productively. Finally, installing a reliable security suite will go a long way in strengthening your cyber defenses.

Using social media safely. Οι προεπιλεγμένες ρυθμίσεις απορρήτου στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης δεν εγγυώνται την ασφάλεια κανενός χρήστη, πολύ περισσότερο ενός παιδιού. Χρειάζεται επομένως οι γονείς να επενδύσουν χρόνο για να τις ρυθμίσουν και να εξηγήσουν στα παιδιά αν θα εμφανίζονται δημόσια οι πληροφορίες τους, και αν ναι, ποιες θα είναι αυτές. Μεγάλη βαρύτητα έχει και η χρήση σωστών κωδικών: τα παιδιά θα πρέπει να χρησιμοποιούν μοναδικούς και ισχυρούς κωδικούς πρόσβασης –  τουλάχιστον 10 χαρακτήρες, με κεφαλαίους και πεζούς χαρακτήρες, έναν αριθμό και ένα ειδικό σύμβολο όπως # ή @ – και να μην τους αποκαλύπτουν σε κανέναν, ούτε καν τον καλύτερο τους φίλο. Τα περισσότερα δημοφιλή μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης δίνουν επίσης τη δυνατότητα επαλήθευση δύο , which significantly contributes to account protection.
