Internet security at home can mean a whole plethora of topics, from keeping viruses and malware out to keeping out hackers and such as well.
There is also a need for software to help monitor and control both content and surf time.
There is a nifty new device which is just about plug and play easy to install and will help not only filter but also sets time limits, sets a bed time and you can pause the internet with the touch of a button, amd it is called the Circle with Disney.
The Circle is an internet device.  Not a router but a device that connects to your network and helps you manage it safely and securely.  Circle is a combination of the network device and the iOS or Android software which lets you interface with the device and change its settings on the fly.  All of these settings are easy to change on an individual basis per device.  Anything that connects to the internet through your router is able to be monitored and settings applied to them, from video game consoles, to tablets and phones.  There is a monthly service available that expands further onto devices when they connect to other networks or wireless date networks.
The big key components are Time Limits, Filter, BedTime and Insights.
Time Limits set daily limits per family member on any platform.  Even having the ability to set a total online time per day limit.
Filter.  This has four levels of preset ages.  That can be customized per internet item.
BedTime makes sure no one sneaks a tablet to bed with them, or plays on their game-boy all night.  Making an on and off time for internet access which can cover the whole night.
Insights lets you see where your family is spending most of its time by internet device or person.
