Securing Trust: The latest in Parental Controls for fixed and mobile networks
Join the Q&A
Join the debate on Twitter hashtag #GSIMV and @AdaptiveMobile
It’s well documented that more devices are connecting to the internet and children’s devices are no exception. Whether it’s a smartphone, gaming platform, tablet or eBook reader, children are increasingly able to go online. The method these devices use to connect can be via a fixed or mobile network and sometimes both.
What do parents think of this increased access, do they want protection, would they pay for it?
This webinar will present the results of a new independent survey of parent’s attitudes and requirements, as well as highlighting the latest examples of real threats that children face today, including bullying, phishing, grooming, malware downloads, unintentionally subscribing to costly services or accessing inappropriate material.
The webinar will also focus on what can be done by the service provider community to address the growing demands for a greater level of personalised protection. For many service providers to date, the ability to provide a Parental Control service that covers all devices and connection types, has seemed complicated, expensive, difficult to deploy and generate meaningful revenue from.
This webinar will showcase how to deploy a Parental Control service that:
- Protects all voice and data connections on both fixed and mobile networks
- Addresses all mobile devices – not just mobile handsets
- Overcomes usability barriers found in existing services
- Is able to provide a range of revenue generating services – from basic protection to complete security customisation
- Offers an innovative solution to the complexity of deploying voice services
- Stops techniques children use to bypass Parental Controls

Will there be a replay available and/or can we get a copy of the deck?
Hi Stephen. If you drop an email through to gmaclachlan@adaptivemobile.com, or info@adaptivemobile.com I’ll make sure you get a copy of the deck.
I assume that the system allows full control over withheld numbers and identification?
Hi Andrew. Fairly complex to answer, as it will depend to a certain extent on which node we integrate with for voice controls – but in most cases we will see the originating party and so apply the policy; as well as in other scenarios having specific rules for whether unknown numbers are allowed. In SMS etc, while the From field may be spoofed, we filter based on the correct originating details.
Ins’t there any interaction with GGSN or PCRF?
Hi. We often do interact with a GGSN as an enforcement point, a node such as a DPI; or alternatively sitting in line with the traffic. PCRF is not required, although we are working with operators who want us to act as a form of AF to a PCRF, but requires some extensions to Rx.
So, how you App knows that a site or content is offensive? Does it consult a classification database? Who populates this DB?
Hi Antonio. We use several third-party classification databases for site content categorisation, as well as for malware reputations.
