3 ways to protect your child on their new laptop

A child lying in bed on their laptop.

I remember having to haul a bag of books to school everyday as a kid. Fast forward to today, our children enjoy the convenience of having portable laptops to use for their schoolwork. Despite becoming an integral part of education, it's our responsibility as parents to ensure device protection for these laptops with a VPN, antivirus, and other tools. If we don't, unsupervised browsing can lead to accidental malware downloads or access to inappropriate content.

It is critical to load up that brand-new laptop you got on a Black Friday sale for your kid with more than one security solution. Examples include a password manager, an antivirus, and of course, the best VPN. Combining several of these features will help protect your children from those looking to rob their personal details, infect their device with malware, or track their online activities.
