Tata Communications is the first internet service provider (ISP) in India to become a Member of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF). With this collaboration, Tata Communications is leading the way towards a safer internet by protecting citizens from online child sexual abuse material.
As a Member of IWF, Tata Communications will now be using the URL List service, a list of webpages that contain child sexual abuse imagery. By using the URL List and removing its customers’ ability to access these webpages, Tata Communications will provide its customers with the most up-to-date way to protect their networks from child sexual abuse imagery online.
Today, over 28 percent of the world’s internet routes travel over Tata Communications’ network, making it the fifth largest global internet backbone service provider. With such a significant global reach and strong pan-India presence, this membership will go a long way in supporting the cause of creating a safe internet.
Tata Communications along with its subsidiaries is a leading global provider of A New World of Communications.
