DETAILS:

PC Magazine Lead Analyst for Security Neil J. Rubenking gives SocialShield a top rating (4.5 out of 5 stars), praising the product as "one impressive monitoring tool." SocialShield was recognized for its ability to not only track five different social networks, but how it aggregates the activity from all of the networks into a single easy-to-understand console. Rubenking noted how SocialShield has distinguished itself from its competitors with easy-to-understand reports that help parents protect their children from cyberbullying.

The review follows the company's recent announcement of significant product enhancements, allowing parents to more easily and effectively protect their children on Facebook, Google+, Formspring, Twitter and other social networks. The upgrades give parents even more control, easier access to data and greater sophistication in identifying questionable activities.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Parents can monitor activities associated with their child's  Facebook, Google+, Formspring, Twitter and Myspace profiles

• Aggregates a child's activity across all their social network profiles into a single easy-to-understand console

• Impressive breadth of activity coverage for parents

• Alerts parents of  potential contact by strangers, suspicious friends, cyberbullying and other concerning activity

ABOUT SOCIALSHIELD:

SocialShield is the leading cloud-based social network monitoring service. SocialShield gives parents affordable, easy-to-use, state-of-the-art tools to help them enhance Internet safety for their children in the online environment. The patent-pending SocialShield technology flags parents about their children's activities on popular social networks so they can feel comfortable about who their children interact with online, what photos and conversations are being posted, and where children have profiles. Yet, by operating primarily as an "exception reporting" technology, children can still use these networks with a feeling of privacy and independence.  Based in San Bruno, CA, SocialShield is backed by USVP and Venrock as well as several notable private investors.
