- Tackle complex technical challenges related to network protocols, MDM integrations, and advanced iOS API interactions

Our take
With the rise of social media and mobile-first platforms, the risk of online threats and health issues resulting from screen time has ballooned. Children are one of the most at-risk groups, and this has led to a doubling down of efforts to develop mitigation and protection measures. Parental control software has consequently become a key market showing higher-than-anticipated growth that looks set to accelerate going forwards. Tech startup Qustodio has its sights set on becoming a major player.
Qustodio’s parental control tools make for a robust offering. They reduce the threats children are exposed to online, filter and monitor children’s browsing habits, and help instil healthy habits regarding device usage. Crucially, it is one of the few parental control solutions that still offers call and text monitoring. This is an important edge, as competition is otherwise incredibly tight between Qustodio and rivals like NetNanny or Kapersky.
Qustodio, like all major players in the space, will have to contend with the growing concern that the comprehensive permissions it requires leave users open to data privacy breaches. However, this is an area that the industry is working hard to improve on. In 2022, Qustodio was acquired for $52 million by Qoria, formerly Family Zone, an Australian cyber-safety for students platform. This will bolster Qustodio's global reach.
