As a part of the company’s corporate social responsibility initiative, Blue Coat provides K9 Web Protection at no cost, offering parents an easy way to control family access to offensive or inappropriate sites and protect against malware and phishing.

As the Internet has become woven into the fabric of society, malware has moved to the Web in an attempt to exploit unsuspecting Internet users. According to Sophos research, there is one new infected Webpage discovered every 4.5 seconds, many of which are on legitimate or trusted sites, Web-based malware exposes consumers to increased risk of infection or personal information theft.

“I've spent the better part of the last two weeks delving into research on Internet filters to use on a new family PC and, after trying numerous paid services and finding flaws and easy workarounds in each and every one of them, I was thrilled when I stumbled upon K9 Web Protection,” said Bryan Gibbs, a K9 Web Protection software user. “The installation was the easiest I've seen, the service is free, and I am receiving the best protection to date. I finally feel safe letting my kids on the Internet.”

K9 Web Protection relies on the same enterprise-class Web filtering technology used by Blue Coat enterprise customers around the world, and is wrapped in a simple, easy-to-manage software application that is compatible with both Mac and PC computers. To protect against newly discovered threats, K9 Web Protection is continuously updated by the WebPulse™ service, the Blue Coat cloud-based community watch environment that also updates Blue Coat WebFilter™ and ProxyClient® enterprise products. In this community watch environment, the identification of malware by one member is shared with all to prevent infections or other harm.

“In WebFilter, Blue Coat has best-in-class Web filtering technology, and now the community at large can benefit from our expertise in protecting users and their information against malicious content,” said Mikko Valimaki, chief scientist, Blue Coat Systems. “By extending that filtering technology in a free, easy-to-use software download, home users can get the same protection as our most demanding enterprise customers, with the confidence of knowing that their families are protected from the dangers of the Internet.”

K9 Web Protection software is an integral component of the Blue Coat proactive layered defense strategy. By sending Web requests to the WebPulse service, K9 software provides the community watch service with a diverse range of URLs for analysis. Blue Coat ProxyClient mobile software also sends Web requests to the WebPulse service for analysis, further increasing URL diversity to build a comprehensive profile of Web content. The breadth and depth of Web requests enables WebPulse to keep pace with and better protect against evolving threats.

Here are some important tips to keep your kids safe online.

- Do not allow your children to post pictures of themselves online (NEVER). Do not post pictures of your children on any social networking sites. Predators have been known to take pictures from online albums and post them on pedophile websites often editing them in photoshop.

- Pay very close attention to the people that your children communicate with online. Treat any online friend with caution. Many pedophiles and sex offenders try and lure children into conversation. According to many known experts, pedophiles will speak to a child or adolescent for weeks or months (sometimes years) before trying to set up a meeting with them.

- Should you find a suspicious person is e-mailing, chatting or instant messaging your teenager or child, you should find out who it is. There are some very easy ways to do this. One of the way is using parental software.

Things to know...

Don't be fooled !! Your kids are smarter than you ....
The first thing parents must realize is that their kids have far more superior computer skills. We all know that various child safety programs come built in with our operating systems. While they do serve some functionality they are considered obsolete. Teens these days are very computer savvy. Just consider this: Who spends more time on their computer? You or your kids? Its a no brainer that your child will develop skill on how to bypass built-in security measures. There are tons of "how to" sites made by teens that teach how to "get around" any Internet blocks you might have put up. This is why built in child safety programs do not work. They are well known by teens and bypassing them without you knowing is a matter of entering a few clever commands.

Internet Safety with Parental Control Software

Did you know that over 55 Million children use the internet on a weekly basis?
Did you that 1 in 5 of those children were sexually solicited online?
Did you know that only 18% of the most serious incidents were actually reported?

Unfortunately those statistics are true. That is why Sentry Parental Controls is dedicated to making the best of breed parental control software and providing users with unparalleled tools to promote Internet safety within their homes, work places, and organizations.

Protect Your Children Online While Online

Sentry's Parental Control Software truly provides your children with a safe online environment. A very critical component of their Internet safety software is the fact that the software is web-based. This means as a parent or administrator you no longer need to be in front of your child's computer to to check logs and change any settings. These features are available and easily accessible to you through their web site. All you need to do to get started is install the Sentry parental control on your child's computer then log into their website. No other software can do that. Does you kid have her own laptop? Well then he/she might have a problem with you constantly wanting to check her computer. With this software this problem is eliminated as you only need to access it once to install the parental control software. From then on everything can be reached via Sentry's website.

"Thank you for caring about kids. All parents should have software like yours on their home computer. We would all love to trust our kids, but we must remember that they are just kids and they get in trouble from time to time. I think it is every parent's obligation to help protect their children against viewing pornography. I don't think young kids go searching for it, but I've come to realize how simple it is for them to stumble upon it."
