If you’re looking for parental monitoring apps to protect your child from online dangers, you’re probably under the impression that they’re all the same. Most of us are likely to base our purchasing decisions solely on product features and costs, which is understandable.
But have you eve r considered what the software provider does to protect your child’s data from the jungle that is the internet — a ‘war zone’ where websites are constantly attacked by hackers? Have you considered the implications of their servers being hacked, exposing your child’s data to the public?
As the timeline above demonstrates, this hacking scenario is far more common than you might think — and it’s not just because of the sheer volume of threats; it also depends on the company’s security measures.
Unfortunately, security measures consume a significant portion of a company’s resources because, unlike feature development, security is an expensive, never-ending battle against a formidable army of adversaries.
It’s no surprise that most parental monitoring app developers overlook security due to the complexity of additional design, the cost of implementation and testing, and the internal processes required to detect and respond to hacking attempts. When done properly, security adds 20% to development, support, and maintenance costs, reducing profits.
By omitting security, the cost of parental monitoring apps is reduced, development is accelerated, and the product is more appealing to customers. However, ignoring security has real consequences, which is why so many parental monitoring software companies have been hacked, particularly those at the lower end of the price scale.
FlexiSPY invests heavily in security, and while no company can claim to be fully secured, we’re happy to report that no client data has ever been compromised.
Another reason we recommend FlexiSPY parental monitoring software to any parent concerned about their child’s safety is because of this. To learn more, CLICK HERE
