Safe Internet works inside Kcell's network. It blocks phishing sites, malware, and scam domains before they reach a device, so families do not need to install, update, or configure anything on their children's phones.
Built for families
On top of threat blocking, Safe Internet gives parents control over what their children can reach online. Content filtering keeps categories such as adult content, gambling, and violence out of reach. Parents can also block specific sites with a deny list or allow trusted ones with an allow list, so the protection fits each family rather than one rule for everyone.
"Children get their first phones earlier every year, and they meet the same scams and harmful content as adults. With Safe Internet, parents can protect their kids directly in our network, without installing anything and with filters they can adjust to their own family. Whalebone gives us protection that keeps up with new threats as they appear."
– Rodion Knutov, Product owner, Kcell
Local insight for stronger protection
Scams that target Kazakh users are written in Kazakh and Russian and built around local banks, delivery services, and popular apps. Generic threat lists often miss them. Whalebone combines market-specific threat intelligence with collaboration with local CERTs, so Safe Internet can detect and block scams designed for Kcell's market.
AI-powered protection against AI-powered scams
Attackers now use AI to clone websites in minutes, write convincing phishing messages in the local language, and launch tailored fraudulent ads. According to Whalebone's 2025 Threat Landscape Report, a skilled attacker with phishing kits and AI tools can build a fully operational campaign in under an hour. Blocklists updated once a day cannot keep up with that speed.
Whalebone answers AI with AI. Its models analyze DNS traffic and internet metadata in real time, spotting suspicious patterns such as freshly registered look-alike domains before a campaign reaches its first victims. For Kcell families, this means children are protected from new scams from the moment they appear, not after they have already caused damage.
A smooth move to Whalebone
Kcell chose Whalebone to power Safe Internet as it moved its existing subscribers away from its previous supplier. The migration runs on Whalebone's DNS resolvers inside Kcell's network, so current customers keep their protection without any action on their side.
Whalebone's Telco Cybersecurity Success Program supports Kcell from technical integration and migration through launch, customer engagement, and ongoing optimization.
With this launch, Kcell joins more than 400 communication service providers worldwide that use Whalebone to protect their customers.
