CONVERGE ICT Solutions Inc. has vowed to continue to implement safety and security measures online to protect young users.
“Converge will continue to implement safety and security measures such that explicit and malicious content will not continue to propagate online," Converge Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Anthony Uy said.
Uy also reminded parents and guardians of children to take proactive steps in using the internet responsibly.
Converge has installed a firewall system that can examine data that flows into the network then verifies if it is safe to pass through to the business. This technology prevents unauthorized access to or from a private network, preventing the circulation of explicit or malicious content.
Converge also has a Secure Domain Name Solution that blocks at the domain level those websites carrying child pornography material. The tools used by Converge for Firewall and DNS Solution are from the most reputed companies in the industry.
Converge works closely with the National Telecommunications Commission in the fight to make the online environment a more secure place for all and encourages everyone to support the Department of Information and Communications Technology and the Department of Social Welfare and Development with their Child Online Safeguarding Policy.
To report any cases of online sexual exploitation of children, the public can call 1343 for Metro Manila and 02-1343 for outside Metro Manila. One can also report cases online at www.1343actionline.ph. To report child pornography sites, one may text DSWD
Through transparency and cooperation, Converge believes that the internet can be an even safer place where everyone can be empowered to voice out and seek positive change.
