AdaptiveMobile launches parental controls

One of many services launched to tie in with Safer Internet Day.

Today's big web initiative has been designed to highlight the need for tighter security and controls to protect kids from unsuitable content.

It's the kind of thing the adult sector generally supports in its quest to achieve responsible self-regulation rather than imposed censorship.

AdaptiveMobile’s Parental Control solution enables operators to offer call, SMS and MMS blocking, as well as a range of web filtering services.

It can also be customised to allow access to certain websites during certain times.

“Children today are exposed to a range of threats from malicious phone calls from school bullies to inappropriate content on websites,” said Ciaran Bradley, VP of handset security, AdaptiveMobile.
