The Swiss-based privacy company seeks to fight back today’s growing cyber threats, making it easier to protect the most vulnerable members of the household.
All-in-one plan to protect everyone in your family
“As a parent, I am eager to teach my children the proper ways to approach email, cloud storage, and internet security from the beginning. I know I am not alone in this,” said Proton’s Product Lead David Dudok de Wit.
Recent data shows, in fact, that about7 out of 10 familieshave experienced cyber threats in some forms. The great majority of parents (90%) are worried for the safety of their children’s online identity, too. Such concerns are understandable being that kids are increasingly surfing the web from a very young age nowadays.
Downloading and correctly using avirtual private networkor any other security tools is something that might be tricky also for the eldest of the family who may not fully understand the risks of such an ever-changing online world.
“The Proton Family plan takes us one step closer to our mission of making privacy the default for everyone,” said Dudok de Wit.
